I Am Now a Lord (Laird)

As my FB friends will know, I have purchased some highland estate in Scotland and with it came a title. I have the papers as proof.

I own the land in perpetuity. That the size of the estate is rather small is of no consequence. Well, it is only 1 square foot.

However, I do have the title deeds as “Lord of Glencoe”.

I expect no special treatment from the Mods due to my newly elevated status.
Of course I am now in training for my “droit du seigneur”

When you build your 3rd castle, I’m totally going to lay siege to it and burn it down until it sinks into the swamp!

ETA: Seriously, congrats! That’s pretty damn cool!

That droit de seigneur is kinda awesome. First crack at any local bride who lives on your land! :smiley:

If you are a Scottish Lord, then I am Mickey Mouse! :smiley:

I’m not sure I’m going to find too many maidens on 1 square foot. And with my luck they’d all look like Susan Boyle anyway.

There you go, looking for the downside already.

Well, the Scots are supposed to be pretty tight. Hope they don’t start hitting me for rates on my estate. (The one square foot one).

Quit yer havering and lance that Boyle.

Yeah, my husband owns a plot at the Laphroaig distillery :wink:

Don’t they make the Pocket Fisherman?

You of course realise that because of your station in life you MUST go out attired in full Highland dress on a daily basis, and the dress regulations apply to what is not worn under the kilt as well, not pleasant on a draughty day I’d imagine.

And now I must begone M’Lord.

Carefull, or I’ll go and wee on your square foot. :smiley:

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to levy new feu duties, but feudal tenure was only abolished in 2004.
Does any other country get sold off foot by foot? Does anyone with Irish roots have a foot or so in Ireland?

if they look like Susan Boyle, you are going to have to buy another couple of square feet.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us peons m’Lord.

But be forwarned I am on my way to being a m’Lord m’self. And my soon to be peons are itching for some conquering.

How is your a-leaping?

True, your X and Y may be a tad limited, but look at all that Z!

You bought ANOTHER custom title? Do you get to change it whenever you want?

He’ll fit right in.

Heh. I have watched Braveheart and I am sure that all the Scottish women are as hot as in the movie.

The disputable Scottish tightness is a myth. It originated as a Glaswegian joke about Aberdonians. In reality most Scotsmen I have met have generally been much too generous for their own good.

So do I and they pay me rent (but I have to go to Islay to collect it).
