We visited the castle and for me was with anticipation to see my plot.
The guide was rude arrogant and made me feel very unwelcome I know it was pouring with rain and not nice to stand there talking to us but I had sketches trainers on and was told very rudely I could not see my plot as it was somewhere in the long grass I would have to wait in the car
My sister was told quote “ I hope your not recording me “ my sister replied no I'm not I'm taking a photo.
Another couple trying to lighten the atmosphere ask the guide his name he said I'm your guide. I have no idea what the American couple thought of Scotish hospitality!
I think its a wonderful idea to raise funding through selling plots but when people travel miles us 400 to see them surely the least you could do is have a welcoming guide someone who is friendly and not speak to us like we were children.
I am so disappointed and will no longer have anthing to do with Dunans.
We could not stand the humiliation any longer so left early.

This is certainly not what we would want to hear has happened from one our tour participants. As your review states this was a particularly wet day and not at all conducive to a walk in the grounds. I understand from the guide that he was trying to alleviate the effect of the weather for everyone - and there were several parties. However, as has been said in other reviews, his manner is sometimes quite abrupt and his humour is also sometimes misread – although here it is very apparent that he lacked the sensitivity to understand your predicament. I did meet several folks at the end of the tour, but given your feedback here, you were not part of that number. I am sorry I did not get to speak to you before you left and that we couldn't resolve matters at the time. And I am also so sorry that you had such a bad experience. Be assured, I have given the guide your feedback, and we will endeavour to ensure that folks who visit do not experience the same upsetting set of circumstances or behaviours. Thank you for taking time to let us know that you were so unhappy with events at Dunans. Charles

As a lockdown birthday present my friends purchased a plot of land for me at this beautiful location then for this years’ big birthday arranged for me to visit. We came for a tour on the 7th June and enjoyed every moment. Gordon’s knowledge is excellent and he did a great job explaining the history whilst also providing a tour of the grounds including my plot. It was also a nice touch to meet the owner Charles at the end. I’d recommend to future visitors to make sure they dress appropriately with solid footwear as some areas of the tour ground is uneven and slippy from the rain. We will be back.

As Laird and Lady, we visited this venue to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Despite the unfortunate fire in the past, this building is stunning and Charles and Sadie have a vision which I am sure will succeed. Tour guide Gordon was amazingly knowledgeable and had answers to every question we threw at him. He pointed out our plots, which was very nice and took us down to see the beauty of the medieval bridge. Laird Charles took the trouble to come and meet us and spent time talking to us and to explain the plans for future restoration. It is a unique experience not to be missed. We are delighted to support the initiative. Good luck for the future Charles and Sadie.

We were fortunate to experience gorgeous weather and absolutely lovely grounds surrounding the ruins last week (early June)! Glorious rhododendrons and fairy-strewn daisies lined the steep path above a babbling brook. It was not hard to imagine historic Highland life in such a romantic setting.
When I met the owner, Mr. Charles D-S, at the end of the brief tour, I should have spoken up about the common impressions of our group. I withheld my voice to be polite. I was raised to behave better than the way I am sometimes treated. However, future visitors should be warned about the repetitive rudeness of the guide. 3 pairs of strangers quickly realized that the condescending attitude and rude comments were directed mostly toward the ladies in our group. The guide said that I "had better not be recording him" (which I was not) and then told me to stop taking notes. I explained that I am a teacher and was typing. He claimed that this was "his story" (I merely thought it was history). Later, he made nasty comments behind backs (to a lady who wasn't listening, "She can just take over, I don't care," had a disagreeable attitude, was intolerant of those who needed more time to complete the trek, harumphed at us, and continued to be rude in words and manner. He did his best to ruin an interesting experience. All 6 of us were disgusted. I certainly hope that in the old days, real "lairds" and "ladies" were treated better.

Many thanks for your comments here Christi, we will take them on board. Gordon is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the site and the region and is often complimented on the tour. At times however, training needs are identified by participants on the tour, and this is one such instance. We will be discussing this at our next review. I do hope this has not put you off the project and I do hope we will see you at Dunans once the restoration is complete.

I purchased the Lady title from this site and they've been very present and professional, the title arrived without problems even though I ordered from overseas and the UK mail had suffered a cyber attack right in those days (yes, my luck).
The efforts to preserve such pieces of art and history is remarkable.

Questo castello lo abbiamo scoperto per caso navigando nel web grazie ad una raccolta fondi che grazie ad un piccolo contributo ti permette di diventare Lord o Lady del castello. E' possibile prenotare la visita del castello e vedere l'appezzamento di terra che si è acquistato. Attualmente è ancora da sistemare, ma grazie ai fondi è possibile che venga del tutto restaurato e aperto come hotel dove poter soggiornare.

I was purchased a square metre of this castle for my birthday which was a wonderful gesture and surprise. We planned a visit and enjoyed our tour. It was a bit quiet when we arrived so we weren't sure where to go or where to park but eventually the tour guide found us.
Some people were having lunches or afternoon teas which looked nice. I don't remember seeing an option to do that.
The castle itself was fully ruins when we visited but I'm sure it's better now. It will be nice to see it fully refurbished as and when that happens.

Having driven for ninety minutes, we arrived at the lay-by car park three minutes late and found it deserted. We drove to the castle and a guide explained that they had begun a little early because most guests had arrived. While I spoke to Gordon, the guide, my daughter was being harangued by the most abrupt and hostile woman. The odious and obnoxious behaviour of this female was more than compensated for by the welcome of the owner. He was able to show us where to park and unite us with our tour. Gordon is so knowledgeable about the history of the castle and he has a brilliant sense of humour. The owner spoke to us at the end about the project and his passion for it shone through. The castle, bridge and grounds are well worth a visit. If an angry woman tells you that you haven’t booked, just look in the site office for the owner. Fantastic place.

We were delighted to receive a gift of membership of the Scottish Laird Scheme for Christmas and immediately began to plan our visit to the castle. The scheme supports the development of the site. We thoroughly enjoyed the extensive guided tour, and our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, answering all questions - he made the visits memorable - thank you. The grounds are extensive and beautiful. The Telford Bridge, house and castle are impressive.

Gordon provided an outstanding and informative tour of the grounds of Dunan castle. He was able to answer all the questions we had, and his knowledge of the history of the clans was amazing. We were about 10 minutes late due to trouble finding the location, but Gordon didn't cut anything short and ran to the next tour. The chat with Charles at the end was a great opportunity to understand the objectives of the restoration effort and what they are trying to accomplish. We enjoyed our visit to the castle. Only disappointment was how far we had to stay from the castle, but understand thats due to the state of construction. Looking forward to a future opportunity to experience the inside once the project reaches that point.

Thanks for the great review vpunitas! It is a cause of regret we can't get the tour inside the castle, but that is coming! As you'll now know, we have plans in the next year or so to consolidate the structure and prepare for re-roofing and re-fenestration so an internal inspection of the ruin isn't far off. Many thanks, Charles

HELP! I bought a laird title in lockdown for my husband and we are wanting to book a visit for next April. I wanted to clarify dates when tours will operate as im not sure if some only run April-October and only on certain days. We have sent emails now to 2 different email addresses, as recommended on the paperwork we received when buying the gift the other email address was on a recorded message after we tried calling..we have had no replies to either and there is no recorded message option! This is very frustrating as we are waiting to book our trip and working in a school it will be the Easter holiday so busy. Thanks

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I would like please to ask you few questions:
1. know which airport is the closest to Dunans Castle? I will be flying from London Southend airport, UK.
2. Is it possible to drive from the airport you suggested to Dunans Castle?
3. How long (time & mileage) would take from the airport to Dunans Castle?
4. Are there any all inclusive or half board hotel or motel or B & B nearby to Dunans Castle?
5. Will the owners of Dunans Castle have built - accommodation like an B&B for example and restaurant on site of Dunans Castle? will these be open to lairs, ladies and visitors in the near future?
Thank you so much
I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
Best wishes
Marilena

My husband bought me lady title but can I use this legally? i.e. on my bank card?
كُتب بتاريخ 2 نوفمبر 2019
Many thanks for your question - whether you can use the title on bank cards or other ID is entirely up to the issuer and can vary wildly even within the same organisation depending on who processes your application. We find that in general bank cards and accounts do allow the title, but national IDs might not. I hope that is helpful, kind regards, Charles

Hi,
I have purchased more than 6 titles so far and put in for ids for my husband and myself
no one has received anything, this morning I purchased ids again because nothing has come in, I have a huge extended family I would like to recommend this for but I want the id now 4 total and the certificates. The first purchases were Jan 30th, Jan 31, Feb 11, and Feb 14th. When should we expect them and is there tracking numbers? Two of the orders say fulfilled but nothing in the mail. I have redeemed codes, PayPal receipts and order confirmation, but no information with tracking numbers or when anything was mailed. My daughter and grandchildren are waiting, both my sons and my husband's ex-wife. I another to register for my cousin, but am fear to do so, until all orders are received. I appreciate any information My family extends into the thousands. I have a masters in history and I purchase to help to preserve some history.

vfrpic is absolutely on the money with our timings Colleen. That said, we hope to clear and consolidate this year and enable tours entrance into the structure. BUT just to manage your expectations, it may not be possible for safety reasons or because the works take longer that expected. Whatever happens it'll be an adventure and you are SO welcome to come and experience some of it with us! Kind regards, Charles

Hi there, Ah, this sounds like you have purchased a Gift Republic title - it comes in a metal box with a registration card? This being so, you'll be receiving the package from them very shortly. If not please email us via our main scottish laird website and we will chase up for you!! Many thanks, Charles

Saw this on Groupon but found this on Wikipedia.
Question:So does this mean you really cant use the title and really can't own the land as you must own land for title?
Wikopedia:The current owners operate a scheme where individuals can be given or can purchase "Laird or Lady packages" which purport to entitle them to "own" a square foot of land in the grounds of Dunans Castle in Scotland and use the decorative title "Laird". Some of the packages include headed note paper and email addresses calling them a laird or lady of Dunans. The profits, from the sale of these packages, are used to restore this private property. Though several websites, and internet vendors on websites like eBay, sell these and other Scottish Lairdships along with small plots of land, the Court of the Lord Lyon considers these particular titles to be meaningless[20][21] because it is impossible to have numerous "Lairds" of a single Estate at the same time. Additionally the Scottish Land Register does not recognise individual ownerships of such small plots
كُتب بتاريخ 6 يوليو 2018
You get your own foot square land but knowing that the money you have spent and seeing the the hard work that Charles and his team are doing to restore the castle makes it worth while and his knowledge about the history and the grounds is fantastic.
