Got the deed in the mail for my new estate on Islay, Argyll.
It's not a large estate, but it'll do. I hope to have the time to visit it one day.
:scots:
This is real? How did it come about?
I have heard of dodgy companies selling fake 'lairdships' (no such thing) to Americans, like those land on the moon nutters. I'm guessing its not that sort of thing what with that being aimed at a certain breed of eejit.
Dammit, you passed me in rank.
THIS SHALL NOT STAND.

Yep. My estate is one square meter and it cost me zero dollars. :cool:
If I have to, I'll buy a fake German title. Freiherr von Anger. CAL SHALL NOT OUTRANK ME.

I'm impressed, oh esteemed estate owner! You can plant crops there. Should hold at least one almond tree. :)
I'm Navarrese nobility.
I'm Brian Fellow.
I'M BRIAN BLESSED.
Man, I love that movie.

My uncle used to work for a Laird in Fife. My cousins and I spent summer running around several acres of estate :scots: :bowler: :scots:

Nah, I got it via a Laphroaig marketing promotion... and I get free scotch via Princesca's employer (Beam Brands), so like I said my Scottish estates cost me nothing. :cool:

In Scotland anyone who owns land is given the honorific "laird." Or so the story goes.
Cal, I hope your meaningless little Scottish MacTitle makes you happy, because once Frankfort finds out, you'll never get your Colonelcy. Foreign trappings and all that.
Great, so now you're a Laird ass. Congrats
:P
