Lady of Chaol Ghleann

As I have decided to buy some land, specifially 1 sq ft of it to support the conservation project of a Scottish Dunan Castle and its grounds, I have changed my name in social media to a Lady Tiina Wilder of Chaol Ghleann (for where else to do it, as I am not going to use it in my official correspondence and records and bank cards and elsewhere - even if I had a right to do it, but it would take it a stretch too far for me personally). 

It comes with a tartan right, and fishing rights and a right to visit my land plot, and a right to call myself with the abovementioned name. 

So, here goes. Just as I am about to enter into my 56th year....in a couple of months. Another change. Another opportunity to be a little different. 

And just as I am to become a British citizen, a step which strengthens my ties to this land. 

Or Scotland. Which may or may not want to become independent. If given a right to decide. As they blew off their last attempt. 

Romans 8:21 ►

New International Version that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay  and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

If nothing else, then I have a right to wear a beautiful Dunans Rising Tartan scarf. Or a stole. Or a ruradh.

And in a small way it makes me feel as if I belonged...even if it means being entitled to a decorative title. Nevertheless, a legitimate one. With the abovementioned legal rights, and entitlements. 

So, this 1 sq ft of Scottish land "has been liberated from groaning" after forming 

a meaningful bond with the named Lady Tiina Wilder of Chaol Ghleann which is again nothing more than a decorative title in support of the conservation project of the named Dunans Castle, but nevertheless a legitimate one with my tiny land plot, tartan wearing and fishing rights.

A bit of a perspective. The ruined castle was bought in 2003 for £230,000. Our London rental property was sold in May 2020 for £240,000. 

Now I know that the property prices have been rising in the meanwhile, and at about the same time - in December 2003 our property cost £144,000 and its estimated purchase price is today £272,000 with a +£32,000 (13%) increase since last May.

And if this seems highly improbable, then here is a ruined castle offer for you. https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbedrseds200210

But its restoration and later upkeep takes a fortune. Hence the clever conservation scheme.

That said, London is home. And most London property owners could be castle owners, pricewise. 

Just saying.
