I am asking a few questions for those "more in the know" about Clan structure, etc., for a friend of mine where I work. He has not joined us here online at the XMTS Forum, but has proposed some questions and I said I would try to help.

1. The present Clan Chief of Clan MacDougall appears to be held by a female and recognized by Lord Lyon or whom?

2. Finding the present Clan Chief of MacDougall, what would be her present title, as one would address her when writing her post?

3. He does realize that there is a difference between Clan Societies and the Clan Chief and descendant line, but is the Clan in this case, in having a female chief, treated any differently as far as leadership?

Thank you for links ( as I've found quite a few, including one with a post address for the present Clan Chief. ) and/or any info that would make his navigation easier as he becomes more familiar with his clan.
