So, wait, is a piece of Scotland inside the box?

Not literally, but, yes, your purchase of the Become a Laird or Lady Gift Box includes a one square foot plot of land in the Scottish Highlands. Your recipient need only register the land to title it in their name.

Upon registration of their land, the recipient will receive an official Land Ownership Certificate as well as Proof of Title card. The Proof of Title confirms their land ownership in Scotland. With land ownership comes the right to call yourself Laird or Lady.

If your last name happens to be "Awesome", you can now officially call yourself "Laird Awesome". Now that's cool.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I use this title in legal documents?
A: If you are interested in adding your new title to official documents such as your passport, driving license, credit cards, etc, please contact that organization directly as to what changes may or may not be possible.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Would you have to pay yearly taxes?
A: No, you are not responsible for any taxes on the property.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is it possible to obtain the GPS coordinates of the purchased piece of land?
A: We're not sure that you'll be able to obtain the exact GPS coordinates for your personal square foot of land. However, we can tell you that the general coordinates for the area where your plot will be located are Longitude 265 and Latitude 361.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I thought it was illegal for American citizens to hold titles like Laird or Lady.
A: It is not illegal. However, it is up to the relevant authority to deem the title acceptable or not. For example, the DMV or passport office might not allow you to use the title Laird or Lady on such documents.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: So if I buy one million dollars worth of these id get 20,000 square feet of land?
A: Actually, it would be 20,020 one-square-foot pieces of land. There is no guarantee that the land will be next to each other if more than one is bought. No planning permission is given to the land owner, as the nature of the gift is to raise money to preserve the landscape.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Will I have to pay taxes to Scotland? for owning land?
A: No, you are not responsible for any taxes on the one-square-foot piece of land.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Does owning this piece of land entitle me to Scottish citizenship?
A: No, you do not become a citizen of Scotland. Becoming a citizen of another country isn't that easy of a process!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Does it cost to register the land?
A: The recipient will not encounter any costs. Since their gift can be registered online, they don't even have to spend money on postage to complete the registration.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: umm... can you say awesomeness?
A: If we couldn't, we wouldn't be here.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Hey, will you be selling the same land that I bought to OTHER people? please be honest. My mom + Dad are thinking that even though you sell the piece of land to me, u will sell it 2 other pplz.
A: A plot is only sold once, so you and you alone are officially (and legally) the sole owner of your piece of land. This benefits both you (since you can call yourself Laird or Lady) and the conservation trust, as they'll be able to preserve more and more of the Scottish countryside.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How old do you have to be?
A: There are no restrictions on age. Anyone can become a Laird or Lady!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How does this work, in terms of the Scottish legal system? Does this mean that technically any landowners in Scotland are, by definition, Lords/Ladies?
A: The title "Laird" means landowner. This gift makes you a landowner in Scotland and therefore entitles you to use the title of "Laird". It can be used by both men and women, but female Lairds may prefer to use "Lady" as it a commonly accepted equivalent. The landowners in Scotland are not called "Lord" as this is a British aristocratic title.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: DO I have to pay for Laird's retreat?
A: You do not have to pay for the Laird's Retreat. Part of the gift gives you a Proof of Title card, which is used to show you are entitled to have access to the Laird's Retreat.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Does the title transfer with marriage. Such as if you're a Laird and you get married, will your wife be Lady?
A: No, the Laird or Lady Gift Box only grants one title - either Laird or Lady. So, even if you are a Laird and get married, your lady won't legally be a Lady with a capital "L". The title can be inherited, though, so your son can become a Laird.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I do stuff to my one square foot of land ? Like plant a tree or bury treasure ?
A: Unfortunately, no. Part of the idea is to help preserve this land in its natural state, so alterations to the land are not allowed.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: If I buy this do I have obligation to pay to keep it up or have to make donations to the environment of Scotland?
A: Nope! You own the land, but don't have to do or pay for any of the upkeep (your original purchase of the item itself helps with that).
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: With said title, would we get International Royalty perks here in the USA?
A: Unfortunately, no. But we still think the Laird or Lady title will garner you some serious respect.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No
