    The banner of our chief, George MacMillan of MacMillan and Knap is only flown when he is present. The two banners in front of the clan tent display the arms of Harold Cannon (on the higher staff as convener for the games) and yours truly.

    Our clan is split up into branches. That is the one Scott is talking about that is for our appalachian branch.

    Great looking tent. You honour the clan, and our chief, well.

    I hope to be at Stone Mountain but can't seem to find the price for a pass for Saturday only or Saturday and Sunday. Would any of my kinsmen know about this?

    A bit more about "flags"

    And this is his banner:


    The banner depicts the chief's coat of arms on a rectangle and is only displayed when the chief is present to denote his physical location. It may be carried in a procession or flown from a flagstaff at the chief's tent (or anywhere else the chief may be). Some chiefs permit their banner to be displayed inside a clan tent as a way of showing their arms -- when this occurs the banner should be displayed as a wall hanging, and not on a flag pole. ~ MoR

    I like the old tradition of having the saltire in the hoist.

    I suggested a similar version using the arms of the U.S.A. in the hoist on another site when designing my flags and I thought they were going to hang me for it.

    A quick look at fifty-five Scottish standards shows forty-one with the arms in the hoist, so the saltire is definitely in the minority.
