My Sweet Laird: Join The Landed Gentry

Chance In A Lifetime Offer
In the latest of a long-old-line of reality-avoiding offers, here at The Jooky Guitar Emporium, I am pleased, or rather, proud to introduce an opportunity of a lifetime for one lucky personage.

But first, you need to ask yourself a few fundamental questions.

So, fundamentally...

Did you ever want to get a table at a posh nosh venue, but they always seemed full?

Do you ever look longingly at the chinless wonders who seem to believe being waived past the whiffy queues and upgraded to First Class on any flight is a right and not simply an undreamable dream?

Do you crave a title, something you can pass on to your kids?

Do you want to join the land owning gentry, with your own piece of Scotland?

Do you?

Well, do you?

I think you might.

So today, I am deeply proud to offer you that chance.

Today I am rather truly, madly and it has to be said, deeply inclined to invite you to become a Laird or Lady, along with your own piece of Scotland.

This is not a joke, totally legal and other than a bit silly, perfectly serious.

So for three days only, unless I get hit by a bus and this web page sticks around until another eternity is upon us and exists only on outmoded magnetic storage media, I am offering you the following chance of a lifetime.

The Grecian 201 One
1. You can buy the rather stunning The Grecian 201 One for £299 delivered with a Hardcase thingie. By clicking on the Big Yellow Button on this page. And rather beautiful it is too.

2. In addition to a rather splendid guitar, you will also become a Laird or Lady of Glencairn, as described below.

So, a great guitar and a golden invite to upgrade metropolis.

One guitar and Lairdship only, first-come-first-served etc.


Sorry, Tis Gone STC and all that...

This card allows you entry into the Lairds Retreat, 10 acres of beautiful land in Argyll, owned by South Angus Survival.

The Laird/Lady and their party are free to camp, hike and fish on the land - full details of the retreat are enclosed in the gift box.

Can my land and title be inherited?
Yes, as long as Scottish Highland Titles are informed of the changes then your title and land can be passed on.

Disclaimer: When registered, the recipient of this gift will own a square foot of land in Scotland. It is for this reason that they will become a Laird of the land. Although you will be the listed owner of this land you may not live on the land, make any improvements to, or develop your token plot and the deeds cannot be sold by the owner for a profit. The owner shall not receive any income or derive any other financial benefits whatsoever from their land. These are the official
titles that are given to land owners in Scotland and are the widely recognised Scottish equivalent of the English Lord or Lady title. The Laird title documents have been drawn up by Scottish lawyers to ensure that they are legal and valid documents, however neither Gift Republic Ltd nor its suppliers accept any liability for any defect in title caused or contributed to by the Scottish lawyers. Under no circumstances does this gift entitle the recipient to be an English Lord
or Lady. This is a novelty gift item and must be regarded as such.
