Hong Kong investment firm buys Scottish land and claims it will make punters lords and ladies

A Hong Kong-based investment firm has bought up Scots land it claims will turn people into lords and ladies. It’s telling customers they can obtain the titles by purchasing a square foot plot for $50 (£40).

But customers only get a ­certificate and the land ownership is kept by Galton Voysey Limited. They also claim to plant a tree for every order with “over 2,065,630 trees planted in Scotland and around the world where most needed”.

But the Trees for the Future charity they’ve planted the 2,065,630 trees with have no Scots projects and only work in Africa. Galton Voysey is selling the titles through a website called ­Established Titles.
