Novelty Gift Idea Others Have "kilt" For

by Ron Thomson

For a novelty gift idea that will impress your friends, family, and business associates, allow them to become a Laird and Lady of their own land in the Scottish Highlands! If they've heard of William "Braveheart" Wallace, Robert the Bruce, or Rob Roy, they're sure to love having their own title of Scottish nobility!

Laird is the Scots pronunciation of Lord, and with the privilege of land in Scotland that has a title attached, you can style yourself Laird or Lady, or even give a title to a family member - you can make your son Laird Ron, or your daughter Lady Jenny. It's a unique personalized gift that will impress their friends no end.

As a novelty gift idea, your friends can put their title on business cards, their coat of arms, or even the letterhead on their stationary. Imagine getting a card "from the desk of Laird Johnson of Jura" or "Lady Williamson of Jura Estates, Scotland" because they will personally own land there on the magical Isle of Jura just off the west coast of Scotland. They can even proudly wear a tartan kilt and sporran, and show pride in their Scots heritage.

Hearing the skirl of bagpipes and the pageantry of the tartan-clad dancers will give your family and friends a sense of belonging to a Highland Games festival once they become a Laird and Lady of the ancient land of Scotland. When they visit the Scottish cities of Edinburgh, Stirling, Glasgow, and Dundee, they will know that they are a part of that land.

Bringing stories to life is the novelty gift idea that is part of the Scottish Highland spirit. Pouring a wee dram of Scotch Malt Whisky, which was distilled only a mile away from their own Scottish estate, they sit back in their den full of Caledonian memorabilia while watching a historical drama about the history of Scotland. The drama contains scenes from the tragic reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, the battle of Culloden, and the struggle of Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Those with a noble Scottish domain can fly the blue St. Andrew's cross on a white field (Scotland's national flag), knowing they own a part of Scotland. On January 25, Robert Burn's Day, they can sing "Auld Lang Syne." Most people sing it on New Year's Eve, but Scots sing it at the end of most party occassions -- all year round!

A true novelty gift idea that will be treasured and remembered for years is a visit to the distant land of Scotland. This beautiful country will provide the visitor with spectacular scenery such as the hillsides of heather, the famous Lochs, and the Bens( Scotttish mountains). The visitor can arrive with a real title that will follow them for years and become treasured by their decedents for years to follow. The individual's family name will become part of the land's nobility.

If you're looking for a unique personalized gift, why not buy a piece of the Scottish Highlands? This novelty gift idea is perfect for anyone upon whom you want to bestow a title. Your friends and family can become a Laird and Lady, as suits them. Each piece of land comes with an official title, which can be put on business cards and personal stationery, and can create a lasting family legacy. Lairds and Ladies can authentically celebrate all the best Scottish holidays and enjoy knowing that they are among the elite few to be called nobility.
