How to Become a Lord or Lady in Ireland
You may have grown up dreaming of Lords and Ladies. Maybe you have read about them in books or have seen them in the movies. Well, thanks to Celtic Titles, you now have the chance to join the elite, as you too can become a Lord or Lady in Ireland*.
How to get the title of Lord in Ireland
The title ‘Lord’ in Ireland dates back to the medieval era when Lords would rule over the country. The title was acquired with the acquisition of land, which could then be passed directly to new owners, either upon sale or inheritance.
Fast forward to the present day and Lord titles are still used to mark positions of importance. Although the titles are less likely to be acquired through battle, these titles can still be difficult to come by.
There are 3 traditional routes you can take to get the title of Lord in Ireland:
- Marriage. All you have to do is find the love of your life who happens to have a title. Sounds easy enough.
- House of Lords. Be appointed by the Prime Minister and Queen to the House of Lords. An option.
- Lord of the Manor. These titles are acquired when purchasing land. An expense that could empty your bank account.
If these options seem a bit out of reach, don’t worry your dream of becoming a Lord in Ireland is not over. Buying a plot of land through Celtic titles, entitles you to all the benefits of being a lord, without the hassle or great expense.
What is an Irish Lord called?
A Lord in Ireland typically refers to a landowner – a connection so strong that in Gaelic, the ancient language of Ireland, the word “Tirana” stands for both “landowner” and “Lord”.
However, if you want your title to be more specific to your Irish ties, you could call yourself a Scuibhéir (from Gaelic) or Squire (from English), both of which imply “Irish Landowner.”

What it means to be a Lord or Lady of Ardmore
When you purchase a plot of land from Celtic titles, you can refer to yourself as a Lord or Lady of Ardmore. Ardmore marks the region where your land resides as all of our plots are based on the Celtic Titles Reserve in Ardmore, near Derry.
Your souvenir plot comes with many benefits: including a gift pack with a personalised certificate commemorating your new title! This gift is intended to bring a smile to our Lords and Ladies faces, however, what adds to the joy is knowing that it is serving a greater purpose. Conservation is at the heart of what we do and it is thanks to our community of Lords and Ladies that we are able to play our part in protecting Ireland’s natural landscape for generations of Lords and Ladies to enjoy.
