Who's the greatest Scot?

Sean Connery? Alexander Graham Bell? Merida from Disney and Pixar’s Brave, perhaps?

Enter an original, artistic representation of your favourite Scottish person for the chance to win an iPad 2, receive the official title of Laird, Lord or Lady AND mingle with other landowners at Highland Titles' Meet the Neighbours event in May.

Did you know that you only need to own one square foot of Scottish land to be able to legally use the courtesy title of Laird, Lord or Lady? In addition to the prizes, the competition winner will also receive a framed 1x1 foot copy of their entry so make sure you upload a square image!

Before submitting an entry, please familiarise yourself with the entry guidelines below.

Guid luck!!

Client information

www.highlandtitles.com

Highland Titles offers a unique opportunity for you to buy a plot of land on their estate in the Highlands of Scotland. They sell plots ranging in size from 1 square foot to 1000 square foot, and thanks to Scottish Landowner law, ownership of this estate legally allows you, or someone you love, to use the courtesy title of Laird, Lord or Lady. Many of our customers have updated their driving licence, credit cards and such like to reflect their new status.
