Where are the land plots?
Although located in an area of outstanding beauty, the plots are only about 40 minutes drive to central Edinburgh. In fact, at the very epicentre of Scottish history. Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, and many other giants of our history walked these lands, fought in them and died in them (Robert Bruce is buried only 6 miles away). Precise maps diagrams and directions are included with the Owners Guide to Bandrum.
Is the view really as good as you say it is?
It is probably better. In fact, we may not have done it justice because, it is truly stunning. You can see Stirling, the William Wallace (Braveheart) Monument, Ben Lomond, the Firth of Forth, the legendary Forth Bridge and Edinburgh Castle. Virtually where all Scottish history took place in one panoramic vista.
Will I actually own the land?
Yes, most assuredly. We have gone to a very great deal of trouble to make certain of that our customers are completely legally protected. Each plot has had its own location identified and has been given a unique national grid and administrative reference number by our official surveyors. It is legally leased to you (and your successors) for a full 175 years - the maximum available under Scottish Law- and thereafter it is extendable completely free of charge indefinitely You will receive a legally binding Contract drawn up by our lawyers in Edinburgh in which your rights are enshrined in the Law of Scotland. The land then belongs to you and your descendants in perpetuity.
Can I buy the plot but give it to someone else (for example as a present)?
Yes, you can. Just give us their name (and address if you want the gift pack sent directly to them) when purchasing with PayPal (there is a special box for your instructions), and we will do the rest. We can send it directly or we will send it to you to give personally. The person(s) you nominate will then hold all legal title to the land
Can the documents be made out for a special occasion (e.g a birthday, anniversary etc)?
Yes. If you would like the documents to show a special date, just let us know and we will arrange it.
What if I make a mistake when I give you the details to go on the documents?
That will not be a problem. We ALWAYS double check details with you before we dispatch. Any mistakes can be corrected at that point.
Can more than one person own the Plot?
Yes, we allow two names on each plot (we are the only company that does this).
Can the plot be inherited?
Yes, as it is your exclusive property, and it will pass on to your descendents with your other property.
Can I build on the plot?
The intention is to keep the land in its natural beautiful condition, so it cannot be built on. The land is to be preserved for present and future generations (particularly your own). In this way, you will be helping to keep a beautiful part of Scotland beautiful for ever.
Does possession of this land entitle me to British citizenship?
Scottish citizenship would be much more appropriate. But sorry, the answer is no. Ownership of land in the United Kingdom of Great Britain (of which Scotland is currently a part) does not automatically confer any citizenship or residential rights.
What is a “Laird”?
Long ago in Scotland, great landowners were known as “Lairds” It was not an official title like Count or Duke, but more a recognition of a landowning status in society. Status which came directly from being the owner of land.
So, can I really become a Scottish Laird?
By purchasing a piece of land at Bandrum in the ancient Kingdom of Fife, you have become different from other people (how many people do you know who own land?) You have therefore truly earned your status as a Landowner and, as a consequence, you become a Laird of the lands of Bandrum (Note: men will be designated as "Laird". Women will be designated "Lady"). Each Plot can be in the name of maximum 2 persons (male and female or same sex).
Are there taxes or other official issues related to land ownership?
There are no taxes or any further financial liabilities whatsoever. The purchase price is the only cost that will ever be incurred.
Can I buy more than one plot
Yes, you can buy as many as you want. Just let us have the names of the people whose names you want on the documants.
Can I visit the land?
You can and we would encourage you to do so. The walks are truly superb and the enormity of the views will astonish you. All directions on ow to get to the plots are given in the Plot documentation. We would, however, ask you to stay on the pathways, ensure gates are closed, and respect the property and privacy of your neighbours.
