Highland Heritage Services and the sale of plots on Sanday

Highland Heritage Services sells one-square-foot (30 cm x 30 cm) plots of land on the Scottish island of Sanday, within the Glenmore or Kingsdale estates. The offer is presented as an original gift for people who are difficult to buy for, or as a personal purchase. The company states that anyone can call themselves Laird, Lord or Lady, but buying a small plot allows that title to be backed by a piece of land.

What each plot includes

Each plot purchased comes with a certificate that can be printed with the buyer's name or with someone else's name if purchased as a gift. The company can also date the certificate for a special occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary or Christmas Day. According to the website, the plot pack includes a personalised certificate, a presentation folder, a crest print, maps of the island and the plot, and a plastic plot card.

Product catalogue

In addition to the plots, the catalogue includes other items related to Scottish and clan themes:

• Plot of land in Glenmore or Kingsdale: £29.99.
• Clan crest wall plaque (clans A-D): £58.00.
• Orkney tartan cufflinks: £15.99.
• His Lordship or Her Ladyship mug: £5.99.

The shop displays these prices in pounds sterling, with the option to view the amounts in euros or US dollars.

Personalisation and gift occasions

The company highlights the personalisation of the certificate with name, title and special date if requested. Customer comments collected on the website mention its use as a gift for christenings, special birthdays, Christmas, 21st birthdays and 70th birthdays, among other occasions. Several testimonials refer to the presentation of the pack and the speed in processing the details for the certificate.

History and setting of the Isle of Sanday

The offer draws on the historic character of Sanday, one of the islands in the Orkney archipelago. The website includes a section on the history of Sanday and another with frequently asked questions about the plots. The company also provides information on shipping, returns, terms and conditions and an affiliate programme.
