On this, I'd say ONLY if the chief is actually present IN the tent, or a legitimately recognized representative allowed to fly it. I've only been in one tent where it was actually done right. The chief and his official standard bearer were both IN the tent that day, so either way, it could be flown. To do so falsely, is the worst of bad taste.
Why?
It is roughly the same as heraldic identity theft, even if done for "all the right reasons."
As for the rest, most tents have relevant books, clan name, and historically appropriate symbols, signs, etc. A Gunn tent once had a targe with Keith tartan scraps nailed to it. A Keith tent had a Gunn tartan with a knife in it. (all in good fun of course). Some have "sign-in" lists for clan members who come and some "info" lists for those seeking more info on the clan society.
We may be more helpful, if we know which clan, so we can suggest clan-specific historically relevant "trinkets" that might be good to have, like can plant badges, and other symbols.
