Facebook keeps trying to sell me a lordship in Scotland. It's obviously a scam, but is it any less a scam than a real monarchy?
It's just a person sitting on a chair.
I almost wish there were more of the fake lordships just to make it harder to take the "real" lords seriously.
Apparently they do sell you a square inch of land in Scotland, and any land holder in Scotland has the right to call themselves a lord. So ya it's absolutely as real as the actual monarchy.
I think some do, but I think some are scams that don't even give you a real ownership of the land.
The trick is, you have the right to call yourself whatever you want, whether you own any land or not.

...The Court of the Lord Lyon reiterated that the titles awarded had no legal worth.
A spokesman said: “The term ‘laird’ has generally been applied to the owner of an estate in Scotland, sometimes by the owner himself or, more commonly, by those living and working on the estate.
“It is a description rather than a title and is not appropriate for the owner of a normal residential property, far less the owner of a small souvenir plot of land.
“It goes without saying that the term ‘laird’ is synonymous with that of ‘lord’ or ‘lady’.”
Amanda McLean, who lives in Buselton, Western Australia, feels that buying a tiny bit of Scottish land has improved her life.
She said: “I use it when I check into a hotel. It’s amazing the cachet it has. You get upgraded and treated very well.
“I also have the name on my credit card and people call me Lady Amanda.”
A spokesman for Highland Titles, a company which has sold thousands of plots, insisted that they hadn’t misled their customers.
He said: “In Scotland anyone can, subject to requirements of good faith, call themselves whatever they like, including ‘laird’, ‘lord’ or ‘lady’
Lol, the loser who works for the heraldry office says this is a fake title, but my girl Amanada is getting comped drinks becuase she says she is a lady (despite being descended from transported criminals).
As it turns out, apparently that in and of itself is a scam, and they don't even really do that. The title you get is fictional.
Not a traditional Own Actually , as Pu Yi became Communist himself ... more like having his Future Comrads over for Visit..
