Pity The Scottish aristocracy. Centuries-old acreage to over-see priceless objects to count, tumbledown dovecotes to restore and folds of ornery Highland cattle to keep off the helipad. Titles have a lovely, multisyllabic ring and the Queen must be a useful character reference. Still in today’s postfeudal world, your average duke or earl is more hardworking estate manager than well-dressed man of leisure. |
