Hi All
Are these websites where you can buy a plot of land in Scotland genuine and does the Title of Lord or Lady actually have any legal stand? If so could you direct me to a genuine website where I can do this
Thank You

No. The Land Register won't let you register them so you're not getting a real "title", just some vague personal right to a bit of ground which you probably can't enforce against anyone else.Are these websites where you can buy a plot of land in Scotland genuine
No.and does the Title of Lord or Lady actually have any legal stand?

And no seat in the House of Old Farts either. Those are reserved for those with loads of filthy lucre or were born in the appropriate bed."There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0

Just change your first name to 'Lord' or 'Lady' by deed poll;

Exceptions:Lordships of the Manor will go for a few thousand pounds, though some of the most famous titles and those with particular rights attached can go for six figure sums. Though it’s worth remembering, Lordships of the Manor are neither titles of honour nor nobilityYou could expect to pay anything from £20,000-£75,000 for the title or in some cases even more.
