It has been brought to my attention that there is a company run by a man by the name of Peter Bevis, his wife Helen McGregor, and their daughter Laura Bevis called Highland Titles, formerly Lochaber Highland Estates (CI) Limited, based in Alderney in the Channel Islands, selling miniature plots of land which they have indicated are in Glencoe Scotland, with the promise that purchasers can thereafter as Scottish landowners, gain the right to title themselves Laird Of Glencoe, Lord Of Glencoe, or Lady Of Glencoe. Their claim, however attractive, is I fear entirely false and without merit. There was an article in Scotland On Sunday about them, and they have been discovered as being behind other very dubious enterprises, which would lead me to believe these are people with very low moral standards.
This is what The Court Of The Lord Lyon has to say on the matter.
“The term ‘laird’ has generally been applied to the owner of an estate, 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 not synonymous with that of ‘lord’ or ‘lady’”
The plots of land which Highland Titles have to date been selling are in fact not in Glencoe, it seems to me that some of their claims are in fact fraudulent. What they have done is to buy a rather worthless unattractive piece of hillside miles away from Glencoe, and called a small part of it Glencoe Wood, though it had never been called this in the past or been known locally by this name. On their Facebook page they call themselves Highland Titles – Glencoe Estates though they have little connection to Glencoe at all. They then sell a contract of personal rights to small plots of this so-called Glencoe Wood to unsuspecting people all around the world, including Australia, USA and Canada where there is a very strong Scottish connection.
I believe only landowners (their customers don’t even own the land) in the actual Glencoe Scotland should use the titles Lord Of Glencoe, Lady Of Glencoe, or Laird Of Glencoe. As the land that Highland Titles sell is neither owned by the buyers and is not in Glencoe Scotland, buyers should not I think use these titles. I fear buyers of these worthless personal rights to tiny squares of land have had their trust betrayed and have unfortunately been caught up in a very well orchestrated scam.
When you buy a souvenir plot of land in Scotland from Highland Titles Glencoe Estates or anybody else, not only do you not gain the right to any title, you also it would seem, do not even own the land with any real rights under Scots law. This excellent article by Halliday Campbell solicitors in Scotland gives a very clear explanation of this. http://www.hallidaycampbell.com/2012/06/who-owns-souvenir-plot.html
Highland Titles also claim to do huge amounts of conservation work, I have lived in Glencoe for many years and hear about most of what goes on, and I can assure everyone that to date they have never done any conservation work in Glencoe whatsoever, that is none, not a thing, nothing. They might do some conservation work somewhere, but it is not in Glencoe.
The people of Glencoe are understandably rather upset that Highland Titles have used the name of the place they live in, work in, and look after, as a pawn in their tawdry money-making scheme. Glencoe is a Scottish National treasure, a place of outstanding natural beauty with a long history and heritage to match. What Highland Titles / Peter Bevis are doing is in my opinion nothing less than a national scandal. The people of Glencoe do not approve of this travesty.
I do feel sorry for the thousands of well-meaning, trusting, generous people from all over the world who have been taken in by these very plausible tricksters and had their trust betrayed. I think I can speak for the residents of Glencoe and say that you have the sympathy of all here in Glencoe, we can only apologise for the awful behaviour of these cheap parasites, I assure you that all will always receive a warm welcome in the real Glencoe, in the true Highland tradition of the Scottish people.
It was always my way to welcome visitors to Glencoe and to my home warmly, in the best Highland tradition. Now it is with very great sadness and a heavy heart that I must change the way of a lifetime, and say that this is no longer true. Peter Bevis, of Alderney and Tulloch Farm Roybridge, and anyone else with vested interests in Highland Titles Limited, Lochaber Highland Estates (CI) Limited, or Lochaber Highland Estates Ltd. you are no longer welcome in Glencoe, you are no longer welcome in my home. I consider greed and dishonesty to be the most loathsome of personal traits. You are an utter disgrace to the name of Scotland and to the name of Glencoe, and ought to hang your heads in shame.
The company and people behind this shameful scam are not based in Scotland, mostly don’t live in Scotland, pay little if any tax in Scotland, and care nothing for Scotland except to make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible in order to live the high life in their offshore tax haven. They certainly have little knowledge of and care little for the traditions of Scotland.
I see Dr Peter Bevis’s companies Highland Titles and Lochaber Highland Estates now have four complaints found against them by the Advertising Standards Authority since Sept 2012, surely a sign that these are in fact somewhat less than honest & reputable companies.
http://lochaberhighlandestate.blogspot.com/2012/12/peter-bevis-on-bletherskite-part-2.html
And another strike against Highland Titles Glencoe Estates by the Advertising Standards Authority, picked up on and reported by Private Eye magazine. This time they have been using very convincing cloned versions of newspaper websites with adulterated content which did not reflect the original text or meaning. Just shows you, Highland Titles are not a reputable company, use truly appalling business practices, and cannot be trusted in any way. See the link below for more details.
http://lochaberhighlandestate.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/highland-titles-in-fake-newspaper.html
This gets even worse if that is at all possible. Even the land sales are fake, you don’t even end up really owning the land you thought you had bought from Highland Titles or any other Scottish souvenir land plot vendor, the whole thing is a total con!
http://lochaberhighlandestate.blogspot.com/2012/02/is-land-i-bought-actually-mine.html
At the beginning of 2015, Highland Titles were caught up in a bit of a spat on Twitter. This resulted in several blog posts by real Scottish lawyers and law scholars, where they give their opinion on the Highland Titles business practices, they are not impressed. And another blog has been written giving very good evidence that Peter Bevis was behind several European Health Card websites which charge a fee for “form checking” services. One of these websites being applyehic.com, according to reputable sources nothing more that a scam.
You really must read this blog post about Peter Bevis and Highland Titles – https://theanatomyofascam.wordpress.com/
A blog post by Giles Peaker, a lawyer with Anthony Gold specialising in housing and public law. He certainly isn’t impressed with Highland Titles! http://nearlylegal.co.uk/blog/2015/02/naughty-step-low-road-edition/
A blog post titled “Highland Titles Scam” by Malcolm Combe lecturer at University of Aberdeen School of Law, and adviser to the Land Reform Review Group. He is also not very impressed by Highland Titles. https://basedrones.wordpress.com/2015/02/12/highland-titles-scam/
And now from the Office of The Scottish Charity Regulator we find this judgement against the Highland Titles Charitable Trust …
“On 3rd April 2014, OSCR issued a direction under Section 31(5) of the 2005 Act requiring Mr Peter Bevis to stop representing the ‘The Highland Titles Charitable Trust for Scotland’ as a charity registered in Scotland.”

Has anyone complained about this scam being advertised on Facebook?
Posted by Piet B S Jerver on March 9, 2013 at 11:24 am
People have complained, but to no avail. I guess it is too much revenue for Facebook to turn down. The Earl of Bradford makes a similar complaint about E-bay on his webpage.
Of course, if you don’t want to see their adverts you can ask to have them blocked from your page on the grounds that they are misleading. If more people did that it might some way in the future have an effect.

I’m not sure someone would complain. You often consider it a shame to have been tricked. I’m sad for these people. I was interested in this offer but thanks to this blog, I won’t be part of this worldwide scam. Thank you, Lord Glencoe. Best regards from France.

Interesting that your comment according to your IP Address seems to originate in the Channel Islands, your IP Address tracks back to Guernsey, traffic from Alderney where Highland Titles are based also appears to come from Guernsey. I’d have to wonder if it was someone associated with Highland Titles who made that comment. Seems it might be a common enough occurrence mind, Dr Peter Bevis of Highland Titles may already have been caught out making comments under false names over on the Bletherskite website.
http://www.bletherskite.net/2011/02/23/end-to-buying-a-fake-scottish-title/
“Peter Bevis has the same IP address as John Duncan”. Ah but then the good Dr Peter Bevis blamed his employees – “Clearly somebody in the Highland Titles office has posted on your site last year. Our policy is that staff should not post about Highland Titles.”
In most companies the buck stops at director level, not at Highland Titles apparently, the employees get it in the neck, very very bad form. Seriously happy I don’t work there!
Posted by Piet B S Jerver on March 9, 2013 at 11:32 am
Sadly this comment is typical of the level of response from Highland Titles to genuine criticism. Rather than engage with it they sing their own praises and stoop to insulting the critic.
It does, however, unwittingly reveal a legal issue that HT are keen to deny – despite Alex Flewitt’s open proclamation of it on Australian TV – namely that they encourage people to obtain goods and services under false pretences by passing themselves off as Lords & Ladies.
Posted by glencoefan on March 20, 2013 at 12:11 am
I do believe Alex Flewitt of Highland Titles was also encouraging people to try to obtain goods and services by deception in I believe a BBC Radio Guernsey broadcast too. Something about flight upgrades for Lords and Ladies if memory serves correctly.

This is a great gift, a novelty that is really apreciated by the recipients. Great to know that someone is using the world wide web to better themselves whilst supplying a fun and novel item. It is very clear when purchasing these titles that they are a novelty and not a serious investment.
Posted by glencoefan on April 30, 2013 at 9:30 pm
If you think running what is essentially an internet con is bettering oneself, I’m afraid I cannot share that opinion.
It is true that this could possibly be classed as a novelty item if it was marketed as such, but the way it is marketed by Highland Titles, I cannot agree that it falls into that category.
Basically Highland Titles have been conning people with four basic concepts, all of which are untrue.
That the land was actually in Glencoe, that was untrue. I do realise they no longer do this, but they did so not very long ago, and I believe they do indeed still try to hoodwink people that the land is connected to Glencoe.
That by owning land in Scotland, buyers then have a right to a title which is not available to non land owners, also untrue. Buyers end up with no more right to any title than they had before.
That buyers own the land with full rights. This is untrue. A proper title to the land cannot be obtained for these souvenir plots as they cannot be registered with the Registers Of Scotland, so no true purchase ever takes place. Buyers are not I think regarded as the land owner in Scots law.
That they were a not-for-profit charitable organisation, also untrue. This is the part I find most outrageous. It has since transpired that Highland Tiles were likely never a charitable organisation, but a fully for profit limited company. This claim has now been withdrawn, but I have recently been led to understand they now deny ever making it. If that is true it would show the people who run Highland Titles up in a very bad light. It is one thing to con people, that is bad enough, but to deny ever doing so when caught out is behaviour more consistent with an under rock dweller, not company directors, one of whom is apparently a Professor, and another apparently an ex Barrister. That would indeed be disgraceful behavior.
When you buy a novelty cigarette lighter in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, that is exactly what you get. When you buy a plot of land and think you get a title from Highland Titles, it would seem you receive ….. nothing really.

Posted by Emily Farquarson on July 13, 2013 at 7:47 am
Hi John, what dd you think you bought?
If you thought the land is in or anything to do with Glencoe, you have been misled.
If you thought you gained the right to any title, you did not and have been misled.
If you thought you bought a piece of land with real rights under Scottish law, you did not, and have been misled.
As for the conservation work, though Highland Titles have undoubtedly planted some trees and built some paths, unlike a charity they are completely unaccountable. Charities in the UK are required to make their accounts available for examination, so that members of the public can satisfy themselves that a reasonable amount of revenue is being spent on the ’cause’. With Highland Titles being a limited liability company trading from the Channel Islands, no such accounts are available. Thus it is quite impossible for anybody to see what proportion of revenue is actually being spent on conservation work, or even what their revenue is
With Highland Titles’ proven track record of barefaced lying, deception, and half truths, it would be difficult to assume the conservation work they do as representing very much of their revenue.
If you think you have been misled, please contact your local fair trading department and complain, outlining why you believe you have been misled.

Hello
I was fool enough to buy a small plot of land from HT as i thought it would be a great present for the mother of my children only to find it is an elaborate scam
being very annoyed that i was scammed I have made a complaint of fraud and false advertising to Trading Standards and the office of fair trading.
I have also included this webpage for them to read
I hope they stop them trading and remove the HT website to stop any more people getting scammed I am happy to go to court to help stop this scam.
Posted by Lord Glencoe on August 13, 2013 at 11:15 pm
Good for you Bertie, the more people who make official complaints when they realise they have been conned the better. Highland Titles really are a disgraceful & dishonest company, run by disgusting greedy vindictive people with little in the way of moral standards.
My enquiries also lead me to believe that Peter Bevis of Highland Titles may also be involved in the running of companies which charge for otherwise free EHIC cards (European Health Insurance Card), on the pretence of doing some kind of form checking. And also at least one website which charges $47 for an otherwise $14 ESTA card (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) which is required for entry to the USA,, again on the pretence of “checking your form”!
Posted by Jonas on October 15, 2013 at 9:08 am
These news truly saddens me. My sister bought a small plot and hence, she thought, a title for me. I found this to be a truly amazing gift since I love everything about the Scottish highlands, it’s cultury, history and the sense of something ancient and mythical they give me.
As I now read this blog, which I don’t at all doubt to be true, I really feel misled. I feel sorry not only for myself, or other “owners” of the HT plots, but also for my sister who thought she had come up with such an amazing gift, now only to find it completely fake and useless.
Thank you, Lord Glencoe, for bringing this to my, and others’, attention. It is truly appreciated.
Sad how these scams can spread all over the world via the internet in the way it has. I am myself a resident of Sweden, so it’s not just english speaking countries suffering from this fraud.

Great to see that someone calling a legal business scam when they are calling them-self’s Lord Glencoe, every business in the Lochaber area uses Glencoe in there business name as a way of marketing, this is not the only company that does it, Google Glencoe Scotland and you will see how many company’s that use it and not anywhere near Glencoe. This company has put money back into the area, and have used ground that was never used until now. I think you’ll find that anyone who is throwing sticks and stones at this company may have ulterior motives!!!! PS who is Lord Glencoe? I am from here and never heard of him….. this whole blog is a scam I’d say 🙂
Posted by jimmy the bush on November 17, 2013 at 8:34 pm
Depends on which side your breads buttered, Mrs Scott, I for one have no respect for Mr Peter Bevis ,after the letter comment *** left in the Scotsman , seen by several locals, according to *** that I’m a “legless alcoholic ,who is never out of Clachaig” ***. I did leave a comment on htge’s Facebook page, pointing out that what he called “glencoe wood “, was in fact dalnatrat wood, part of keil, this was removed. Again I left a comment stating that the current queen Elizabeth, was the first in Scotland as Elizabeth Tudor only ruled England, this resulted in me getting barred from any more further comment and all my posts removed
Your comment about them putting money back into the area is interesting, so far I have seen no sign of this, as for the land use, I did see where they called it a golden eagle reserve, claiming several nesting pairs, laughable! Wrong type of ground for a start! And the amount of trees planted, a joke!

Posted by Concerned Of Scotland on December 23, 2013 at 7:34 pm
Mrs Scott, great to see someone commenting in support of Highland Titles who is receiving commissions of design work from Highland Titles, you have a vested interest in matters! Seems it is you who might have ulterior motives!
You call Highland Titles a legal business as if this was some kind of recommendation of integrity, it isn’t. Motor traders selling cars are conducting perfectly legal businesses but some of them do nasty things like reduce mileages shown on used cars to give false readings and increase the value, and even knowingly sell cars in an unsafe condition.
Selling land in Scotland is obviously a legal business, but the way Highland Titles go about it is an utter disgrace. Buyers are led to believe that the right to a meaningful title is obtained, and that they actually really own the plots they have paid good money for. Neither of these things is true.
Are you really so unworldly that you believe because a business is legal, practitioners of those businesses can do no wrong and no complaints can be made about them? People campaign against companies they believe are carrying out their affairs in an immoral way all the time, this is quite proper and legitimate.
As you are so keen on the work they are doing, and have personal contact through your own business, perhaps you might be able to answer this …. ?
What is the total revenue collected by Highland Titles to date, and how much of that revenue has been spent on conservation? If you cannot answer that question how do you know that Highland Titles are in fact providing good value in their conservation work?
I definitely would not buy a used car from Highland Titles, no way!
Posted by Michael Barnbrook on November 20, 2013 at 5:56 pm
As it appears I might have been the victim of a scam I have decided to change my title from “Lord Barnbrook of Glencoe” to “Lord help us.”
Whatever the rights and wrongs of what I have fallen for, I do know that whenever I visit my club, everyone addresses me as a Lord, bows his head and offers to buy me a drink.
Posted by Lord Glencoe on December 3, 2013 at 11:12 pm
If you were led to believe buying a plot of land conferred the right to call yourself Lord Barnbrook of Glencoe, then yes you have been scammed, you could have done that anyway with exactly the same meaning and without buying anything at all!
Please do tell us the name of this club of yours, if they offer to buy the owner of a tiny scruffy square of land drinks, perhaps their generosity might extend to offers of free dinners and drinks to those who own a small garden 🙂

Ok then well I have a deed for one square foot of land in GLENCOE WOODS and henceforth hold the title laird of Glencoe a master title deed has been signed and so this is not a scam because of the Glencoe part in Glencoe woods.
Posted by Lord Glencoe on December 3, 2013 at 11:25 pm
So sorry to burst your bubble, I really am, but if you bought your land from Highland Titles you don’t actually own it. This article from Halliday Campbell, Scottish solicitors explains nicely that all you have is a personal right against the existing owners, not a real right.
http://www.hallidaycampbell.com/2012/06/who-owns-souvenir-plot.html
You see in Scotland, ownership of property, which is the real right (as opposed to a personal right against the existing owner, and which prevails on insolvency), does not pass to the purchaser until the disposition is registered in the Register of Sasines or Land Register of Scotland. It is not possible to register souvenir plots, so no real purchase can take place.
So as you don’t actually own the land it does rather make a mess of your other claims about your title does it not?
Oh, and your Master Title Deed is merely a common deed of change of name, which you could have written out yourself at no cost, and would have exactly and precisely the same meaning and effect.
It does not make me happy informing people about the truth of these matters, I find it galling that honest decent people have been taken in by these shady conning companies.
Posted by Lord Glencoe on December 3, 2013 at 11:39 pm
This Scottish Parliament question might also help to explain the situation regarding the purchase of souvenir plots of land in Scotland.
Scottish Parliament Question S1W-32681
Note where it says “The Executive would advise that any individuals participating in transactions of this nature should be aware that there is no true purchase involved as no title can be obtained to the plot of land.”

Indeed Jimmy, it seems Highland Titles believe they can buy favour within the local community with such publicity stunts. Jimmy Savile was also big on giving to charitable causes, and he turned out to be one of the most prolific child molesters ever discovered!
let us not forgot what the Glencoe Cafe had to say on their Facebook page about Highland Titles, August 7th 2013 “Regrettably, after receiving a number of enquiries from concerned local customers. Glencoe Cafe would like to make it clear that it has no association or connection what so ever with the company Highland Titles, its employees or its volunteers. Nor does it support or condone the trading practices of the said company.”
Posted by Mark Wm W Largy, Herald & Scribe ESQ. on December 27, 2013 at 9:57 pm
Having been gifted with a so called small parcel of Land to this so called Glencoe Wood Conservancy in Scotland, as advertised and offered by Highland Titles, AKA Dr. Peter Bevis, by my unsuspecting daughter, as a means to embellish my Scottish/Celtic Heritage, I immediately became suspicious of the contents of the Highlands Title Company and the albeit, handsome “Gift” package.
What a brilliant scheme!
Buy some Scottish Land and become an instant Laird or Lady!
It all seemed to good to be true.
Therefore, I commenced an immediate investigation and the results are a dismal wake- up call for all who have lined the pockets of Dr. Bevis and associates.
This is in fact a skillfully crafted con.
The sad reality and insult is, unless you have a legal or Law Enforcement background, their ‘Gift” package you received for your hard earned money, actually tells you that it is in fact a con, a novelty, a conundrum.
Bear in mind that the one document provided in the “Gift” package, the Master Title Deed, (Deed Poll) is for the most part, a legitimate vehicle to allow one to commence a name change. But this is the only legitimate document contained in the package.
But here is the rub. No where within the Master Title Deed or Deed Poll they have provided does it promise or bequeath a Title of Lord or Lady. It is a Standard DEED POLL document and nothing more.
Therefore, they have not broken any laws to that effect.
They have sold you, contingent upon your investment into their scheme, a very expensive standard “form document” that neither makes any promises or implies a PEERAGE ENTITLEMENT.
The truth is, it is “YOU” who must make the ultimate choice to follow through with the name change. Should you decided to pursue lawfully changing your name by adding a Peerage Title, as promised you are entitled to do as a Scottish Land Owner as stated, within the “Gift” package provided by Heritage Titles. “YOU” are free to do so. However, for business or legal documents such as Government issued identification, Forms, Licenses etc… many countries who will ask for qualification and bonafide documentation of such a Peerage Title.
It is at this juncture that your “promised” journey into Peerage Entitlement will be stopped cold!
You will get the one thing Highland Titles can guarantee. Public embarrassment and personal humiliation.
An astute Bank Officer or Credible business will most certainly commence a background check and as I have been advised, will walk you out of their place of business should you present this DEED POLL and the reasons for its completion based upon the recommendations and promises being offered by Heritage Titles.
I will not even touch upon the matters of Scottish Land Ownership and Scottish Law which governs these matters. Suffice it to say I have been advised these matters will be dealt with soon enough.
My greatest sympathy now lies with the soon to be tarnished image of SCOTLAND and her proud people therein as a consequence of Dr. Bevis and his Associates.
One recommendation I wish to make to the Lord Lyon, is to properly adorn the whimsical Coat of Arms, Heritage Titles’ is using and selling to their victims. It should bear the proper slogan. “CAVEAT EMPTOR” rather than tarnish the good name of Glencoe.
Posted by Lord Glencoe on December 28, 2013 at 9:39 am
Congratulations of finding your way through the intricate web of lies, deceit, and utterly shameful appalling business practices designed to con people out of their hard earned cash, woven by Highland Titles. I thank you for taking the time and trouble to write your comments.
It is interesting to note that the Highland Titles “coat of arms” is actually illegal to display in Scotland, the bearer could be arrested and prosecuted for so doing. It is hilarious that at last year’s Highland Titles meeting in Glencoe, Highland Titles staff wore shirts bearing this “crest” but in available online photographs the crest has been digitally removed ….. otherwise proof would be available that they were displaying it, leaving them open to prosecution.

I’m glad I found this information. In watching “Good Morning America” today I learned about Highland Titles and thought it would be a fun gift for family members. I really believed I could buy a sq. ft. of land (but not the title as Lord). Too bad this is a scam as it would have been fun for someone to tell friends that they owned a plot of land in Scotland. Worse yet is that the money collected is not being used as stated.
