Highland Titles Nature Reserve has offered the acknowledgment of nobility as a fundraiser to create natural reserves in Scotland. Highland Titles started in 2006 by Dr. Peter Bevis and his daughter, Laura, when they began selling plots from the family's land to fund the planting of additional trees. They wanted to revive an area that had been used for farming and forestry for centuries.
