About
The Highland Titles Nature Reserve is a uniquely funded conservation project. We sell souvenir plots of Scottish land to people all over the world and use the profits to manage the land as a nature reserve. Thousands of our customers visit the nature reserve each year to witness the progress made possible with their support. Improvements include walking trails, a 3-acre lochan, tree planting, benches along the way for quiet enjoyment of the surroundings and signage explaining the natural habitat. If requested in advance we will try to arrange for a local guide to help you find your plot, and if required, to get around the Reserve. Our vehicle is not always available and we cannot guarantee that a driver will be able to take you. Refreshments and lodging are available in a number of nearby communities.

    Wondeful and instructive
    I was delighted to finally see my estate. But I was even more delighted by Fiona's tour of the reserve. The landscapes are magical and her explanations of the work being done to conserve the local flora and fauna were brilliant. Thank you Highland titles for all your hard work. I hope to be back in a few years to see these habitats reborn.

    At Highland Titles, call me "Lady."
    What a delightful and enlightening visit! My family and I traveled to see the plot of land gifted to me by my son in support of the work of Highland Titles in Scotland. Our host explained, along the way to my "property," the work that is being done to re-wild these areas of Scotland where native flora and fauna have been replaced with barren stands of Sitka Spruce. Many Scots Pine and other native saplings peaked out of protective sleeves along the hillside. We explored ponds that have been stocked with trout and have quickly drawn wildlife including a sea eagle and herons as well as otter. Bird song serenaded us as we looked out over beehives and were told about the successful reintroduction of Red Squirrels and efforts to save the Scottish wildcat. A bicycle and hiking path traverses the property, and benches are placed at resting spots with beautiful views of Loch Linnhe (loch leven upstream). It is a wonderful place to enjoy time in nature and appreciate the work Highland Titles is doing to bring areas of Scotland back to its natural beauty. And here, with my foot on my land, I am called "Lady"!

    Lovely experience and unbelievable views!
    The tour was great!! We were treated by our tour guide, Fiona (who happened to be volunteering, how nice!) and taken to our golf cart. Fiona was so patient and explained everything as we drove along. We had 4 total plots, where 3 were together and 1 was more remote. Fiona took us to the 3 plots that were together first and then the more remote plot. I’m glad we wore Wellingtons since we had to hike up to our final plot. The views were unbelievable!! If anyone is planning to visit please make sure to get a tour scheduled you’ll definitely find it to be a pleasant surprise.

    A visit to our “ancestral” heritage !
    Staying in the GlenCoe area we took the opportunity of dropping into the visitors centre in Duror. We were welcomed very efficiently and our “land” was quickly verified. Andrew took us on a tour of the estate in his electric buggy and gave us a most interesting commentary full of information and anecdotes. The highlight of the trip was to view our actual piece of the property and to be photographed standing on it . A very worthwhile visit. A wee hint …… wear boots or stout shoes. It can be boggy !

    Wonderful project!!
    I bought land there as a gift for my parents and they loved the idea of being Lord and Lady of Scotland. We came from the States to visit our "land" and had a fantastic time seeing all the preserved nature. Andrew was a great guide and you can tell he has such a passion for nature!

    My wife and I had a fascinating tour with Fiona today. She is extremely knowledgeable about the landscape and wildlife in this beautiful natural area. Their mission to restore native vegetation and critters is inspiring and the area is simply amazing. A tour of the Highland Titles Nature Reserve is well worth your time. Thanks, Fiona!

    Spent a great few hours in the peace of the Scottish Highlands
    We had such a good time touring the reserve! Stuart helped us get booked and Andrew took us around to see our land spots and told us about everything that was happening on the reserve as a whole. We saw some gorgeous views, got to pet (and feed!) some adorable baby coos, and meet the brand new pigs! If you want a tour, make sure you book it in advance. But if you don't book a tour you can always walk around at your leisure, the staff is friendly and will help direct you to what you are looking for. Definitely stop by if you are looking for a way to immerse yourself in Scottish highland scenery and experience some peace and quiet for a bit!

    Absolutely wonderful experience!!
    My husband & I absolutely LOVED our visit! Staff were so helpful & we SO enjoyed independently exploring the beautiful, peaceful reserve & finding our plot of land! Gorgeous scenery & interesting tidbits of information along the way made for a fantastic experience! It was so incredibly serene being in this quiet reserve. Also fun to interact with the 2 baby highland coos that loved our attention & scratches! And amusing to watch two naughty piglets that got out of their pen for awhile! Highly recommend purchasing land through Highland Titles to help support Scotland conservation efforts & a visit to this wonderful site!

I bought my partner & myself each a plot of land as a gift, and it has taken us since before lockdown to be able to visit the Nature Reserve at Duror to see our plots and experience the VIP tour. The car park is just off the main road, with excellent instructions provided by Stewart. Once parked, and checked in by the very helpful lady in the office, we went for a stroll to the Waterfall Trail while Michael was having his lunch. A fab way to see the area for the first time. It really is serenely peaceful, and beautiful. A Meet and Greet with Michael and we were on our way. Not just a ride to see our plots - it was an introduction to the history of the area, a shocking disclosure about inappropriate commercial forestation and info about what is being done to restore the area to its natural state. Once in the buggy we were taken on a journey that opened our eyes to the amount of woodland regeneration needed, conservation of fauna and flora and preservation of the area. We were treated to a view, from a distance, of the resident wild cat being fed; as well as being shown the largest insect colony in the world; the trout competing with the ducks for their feed, and of course THAT view across the lochs..... wow!! Incredible! During the +- 1 hour long tour, Michael, who is clearly very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with the regeneration of the reserve, showed us as many of the resident species as possible, and patiently answered any questions we had. Our plots were quite close together, and deep in the hillside forest which was awesome. I would absolutely recommend the VIP tour to any new Lairds or Ladys, as well as a self guided walk along the various trails.

Amazing beauty, our guide was very helpful and passionate about the conservation work being done at the reserve, better experience than I imagined it would be.
If you have a plot and/or are a lover of nature and the beautiful Scottish ecosystem I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Will be returning as often as possible.

We visited last week during our vacation to Scotland. A few years ago we'd bought our plots of land, mainly to contribute to the conservation work. We hadn't planned on getting to visit in person. So glad we did. We requested a guided tour a couple of months in advance (make sure you book way in advance). Fiona and Michael gave a great tour and are very knowledgeable. Beautiful land and awesome work being done there. Wish we'd had more time to explore on our own during our days in the area. Highly recommend.

Great experience with Highland Titles. Definitely more than just a bit of fun whilst becoming a "Lord" - this is a genuine conservation project aiming to positively impact and preserve a beautiful part of Scotland.
The meet and greet experience is brilliant way to spend an hour and Stewart is a great, passionate host who fully explained the project and ongoing / future plans.
I was really inspired by the obvious investment into the land which will future proof the estate for generations to come.
No hesitation in recommending this.

We had a fantastic tour. It was great, our guide, Fiona, was very knowledgeable, filling us in about all the fabulous things the reserve are doing to conserve wildlife, flora and fauna. To see our 2 plots was a thrill, we can now fully understand where the pennies go, but they need many more, so book and turn up for a tour it is well worth it, especially for the wildcats, pigs, hedgehogs and bees. Awesome morning... Thank you very much 👌🏼👍🏼😃

We were staying near Loch Lomond so had a two hour drive and we were so impressed with the scenery through the Highlands. My husband bought my plots for a birthday present a few years ago after I had mentioned once that I would love to own some land. The reserve is in a stunning location. Shannon was really helpful and it was a really nice relaxed tour around, she answered our many questions patiently even though I'm sure she has been asked them lots of times before. My plot was lightly "off road" and she advised I borrow some wellies, even though we all had boots on and despite being quite tricky to get to she remained cheerful and we just followed along, enjoying the experience.

We were impressed with the hedgehog area and wild cat areas too. Sadly we didn't see any squirrels.

We sat by the beautiful the waterfall and had our picnic.

A wonderful place to own a little bit of. Thank you.

We had a wonderful visit to our plot of land today. I love to see the good work they are doing and the genuine care they have for conservation. They really do an excellent job at keeping an eye on endangered species and planting native. The whole team of volunteers were very kind and attentive. Stewart led us on a tour and kindly allowed for me to committ my father's ashes in a lovely place, and he offered to plant a tree sapling in memory. Can't recommend enough!

I visit my land today with some relatives and it has been an amazing experience.
We have been taking care of by Heather as soon as we got there, the tour and the explanation were ideal. We felt the passion for what they are doing and learning that they are only four to manage this little piece of heaven is really impressive.
We have found a little spot near a waterfall to lay back and enjoy our lunch.
Thank you very much to the entire Team of Highland Titles for their work 🤗

We visited the nature reserve in the morning, an hour and a half earlier than we had booked. Fiona was super accommodating and took us on a tour of the reserve. I had bought this as a present for my fiancé two years ago, and I think today I enjoyed it even more than he did. Fiona was really knowledgeable and engaging and took us on a tour through all the work they are doing and how they support wildlife and conservation. Despite the terrible grey and rainy weather we had a wonderful time and were delighted to hear everything about the hedgehog forever home and replanting of trees. Would definitely love to come back at some point and see all the improvements.
Thank you so much Fiona! See you in London:)

Such an amazing experience! I brought my Fiancé some land a couple of years ago and planned to go to Scotland mainly to visit his land. The package I got him came with a free Tour of the area and finding the land. This gave an amazing insight to what Highland Titles do. We had an amazing tour guide called Andrew, he was incredibly friendly and told us all the amazing work that the nature reserve is doing! It was great to see that your money isn't going to waste. We had such an amazing time we brought a joint package for our parents too.
I’d highly recommend this for a great present to someone not only for the title but for the amazing work they are doing for the environment!
