laird

The stag was originally built more than 150 years ago on Mormond Hill near Fraserbugh by estate tenants to commemorate their laird's wedding.

Nightcaps may be had at Elsa’s Bar, named for the Italian-born fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, whose avant-garde creations were worn by Frances Farquharson, a fashion editor who married a Scottish laird and lived nearby.

The man behind plans to buy and rewild a 3,500-acre estate in Argyll has insisted he is not a "green laird".

“Such whisky,” an opinionated laird or peat cutter might mutter, “is made from the fires of hell rather than from the good clean earth.”

Could Scotland see a 'green laird gold rush'?
