Become part-owner of an historic Scottish Island...

INVERNESS, Scotland -- May 23, 2002. Clett.com, owner of Clett Island, off the Isle of Skye, Scotland, wish to announce it is selling the island, as 1 square foot 'Heritage Land Plots, priced at US$25 each. Via their website, Clett.com, purchasers will be able to acquire this unique symbol of Scottish heritage, either for themselves, or as a gift for a friend or loved one.

Although only a tiny area of land, plot owners will receive a legal deed granting them an 'undivided interest in Clett Island. This means that each owner can enjoy the whole island, and not just a 1 sq ft plot. Owners can visit Clett and actively enjoy it in any reasonable way they see fit; whether they wish to marvel at the islands dramatic 100 foot cliff-tops, explore, take in the peaceful scenery, or just reflect on the history and legend associated with the area. Alternatively, owners may simply wish to enjoy their ownership of Clett 'at home, by framing the Celtic-styled deed & print (part of the Heritage Land Plot package) and display them on a favourite wall or bureau; a permanent reminder of what they are now a part-owner of.

Richard Haigh, Director of Clett.com, had this to say about his companys new offering We examined the specialist giftware market carefully, and realised that while there were many varied and high quality gifts on offer, there was nothing truly exceptional with a sense of permanence. We decided upon offering 1 sq ft land plots (something which has been done before) but knew our product would have to involve a land type which had never been offered before. So we acquired an island; the only type of land that genuinely has its own unique history and identity. In Clett Island, I also believe we have a true symbol of the Scottish Highlands, and I would invite anyone seeking an exciting new gift, or with an interest in Scotland, to take a look at our website www.clett.com".    ;

Clett Island, situated on Loch Dunvegan, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, dates from the last Ice Age and has seen many centuries of Scottish history, including an attempt by John Jones (the 'Father of the American Navy) to plunder nearby Dunvegan Castle, and the infamous 'Highland Clearances, of the 1800s, where many islanders were forced to emigrate to America, Canada and Australia. Clett also bore witness to Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonalds passage to Skye, in 1746, where the Prince (the 'Young Pretender) made his attempt to seize the thrones of England and Scotland (a journey which gave rise to the well-known 'Skye Boat Song).

Originally owned by the Norwegian warlord, Olave the Black, in the year 1200, Clett Island has had many famous owners since then, including the original MacDonald family, their arch rivals the Clan MacLeod, and more recently the popular folk singer Donovan. Donovan clearly loved the island. So much so, that in 1969 he dedicated a song to it, titled 'And Clett Makes Three. But now, you have the opportunity of becoming an owner of Clett Island, and at a gift item price...
