Hi all,

This is just an idea that I came up with when going through my pack for my new plot. (I have forwarded it to Lochaber) but I am also just interested to see what all you lords and ladies think?

the current title deed is more of a legal document transfering the land to the new owner yes it does have the seal on it also but when I look at mine it gives me more of a feeling of a transfer of land document not a confirmation as a lord.

The Grant of title certificate could contain the Coat of arms seal and signatures and state that the person is now a lord lady of Lochaber and now has been been granted the title of ...... under Scottish law ...... on this day ....... and as such from this time on will be know as ......... or somthing along those lines, could also be a great item for a frame etc

any comments welcome

Lord Pittaway

Wonderful idea.

I think it's a very good idea, especially as the title is hereditary. A Deed of Title would be ideal to pass on to future generations.

Its so great to hear that everyone positive about this idea the idea that the certificate can be passed on to future generations is also great I hadn't thought of that until now!

Please keep voting the more yes votes we get hopefully the more change we have of making this happen

Lord Pittaway, have you seen this?

Hello Lady Arwen,

Thank you very much for your response, Yes I do actually have one of the cards you mention and it is fantastic for carrying around.

But the deed of title certificate I am proposing would not be used for the same purpose. It would be something that can be framed and shown as proof of your title when showing others at home and used along side the master title deed when companies banks etc request more proof of title (you cant do that with the current land deed). and as mentioned by Lord Rhoderick "the title is hereditary. A Deed of Title would be ideal to pass on to future generations"

I like the idea of a "Grant of Title Certificate" very much. It certainly gets my vote.

I do understand what you are saying. A "grant of title" with a wax seal would look impressive. Speaking just for myself, however, the Lochaber Highland Estates certificate I got with my purchase of a 1-square-foot plot serves my purposes just fine. First, it declares that I am a LORD OF LOCHABER. Secondly, it looks good in a frame. Third, it won a bet that I had with my wife that I could purchase a title for for next to nothing. Isn't it a wonderful world?

I like the idea of the certificate too, make's it even more special if your giving it as a gift.

Hello Lairds, Lords and Ladies,

Please keep voting and commenting, results are looking great

Hi Lairds and Ladies
I think this is an excellent idea.

Please keep voting, it appears to have lost some of it's impetuous of late.

I would certainly like one to frame

We need more Lords, Lairds & Ladies to vote, please. 22 votes out of the total number of Lochaber Lords etc is a very poor response.

Nice idea! It`s truth that we already have a personal card with our Title, but, a Title Certificate could be nice too I think!

Regards,

Lord Martin Daniel

I think this is a great idea. I did not think about the subject till reading this post. I would be nice to hand this down thru the generations.

totally agree would be a superb addition to our packs or as an addon
