This free public lecture is part of the 2024 programme of The Heraldry Society of Scotland, will journey through the legal standing of Scottish Clan Chiefs, how does someone become one, and how Scots Heraldry and the Court of the Lord Lyon recognises Chiefs of Clans and Families, and what this means for communities with Scottish heritage around the world.
