This comes with the title** of Laird (or Lady) of Glencoe!<br /><br />*You don't actually own the land - see the not terribly-fine print. They do say that you can do with the land what you please with the exception of shooting and fishing, which I found <b>hilarious.</b><br /><br />** Not a real title - again, see the fine print. <br /><br />Your money goes toward maintaining the land as a nature reserve, and they're pretty upfront about that so I can't call them scam artists, but still, you're effectively paying for nothing.George Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837115563034614545noreply@blogger.com
