joining the clan

[macwilkin]

Now there you go. The very article you point to confirms that the Lord Lyon acknowledges the EXISTANCE of a clan with no chief.
"On May 16, 1989 Malcolm R. Innes of Edingight, CVO, WS Lord Lyon King of Arms Scotland, confirmed the right for Clan Young to have a Crest Badge for all members of Clan Young...."

Of course, the $64,000 question is the status of the Buchanan chiefship with the Lyon Court -- at present, the chiefship of Clan Buchanan is dormant, and to my knowledge, no commander has been appointed by the Lyon Court.

That being said, the Buchanan Society does have a fairly long history, being one of the first clan societies established in 1725, as I mentioned before.

I'm sure Rathdown or Sketraw could add to this discussion.
