The WINNER for HIGHLAND TITLES is:
LORD BINNINGTON
Glencoe... where soars a grand eagle...
Be a Lord or a Lady... it's legal!

On a beautiful Loch
And people will bow, 'cause you're Regal!And the WINNER for LOCHABER HIGHLAND ESTATES is:
LADY LOU from AUSTRALIA
Owning land of my fathers' before

I've planted a tree
Where the red deer run free
And the eagles above dip and soar
Highland Titles - Runner Up No. 1
LADY AYRON TEED
Laird Lachlan plays bagpipes a lot;
A most pleasant air it is not.
We'd very much rather
He flew to Lochaber
And played on his very own plot!
Lochaber Highland Estates - Runner Up No.1
LORD JOHN MILLIKEN
The beautiful highlands unfold
The whispers of heaven I'm told
With sights to be seen
For I've never been
I'll see you before I grow old
I'll see you before I grow old
Highland Titles - Runner Up No. 2
LORD DAVID FAYLE
There's a rumour we want laid to rest
That we bought our square foot just in jest
But we really love it
So much that we covet
One hundred square feet of the bestLochaber Highland Estates - Runner Up No. 2
LORD KEITH LINDSAY
Last year, in some pretty foul weather
I struggled through peat and through heather
I located the spot
Wherein lies my plot
Now my family can own it forever
This poem all made us shed a little tear in the office - we loved it. A bestseller collection on its way to you!
How would you like a Highland Estate?
Let me tell you right now, it feels great!
Let me point out, and say,
In a small sort of way,
You'd be up there with William and Kate.
And Lochaber's a mighty fine place,
That will sure put a smile on your face.
You know you'd feel good,
As you stroll through Lairds Wood,
'Midst the nature that's there to embrace.
There are views there that just can't be found
If you searched the whole world around.
Be you Lady or Laird,
What could be compared,
To owning a piece of that ground.
