Many Scottish clans do not have a chief at present, yet this should not deminish the work of their clan societies; witness the Buchanan Society, one of the oldest clan societies (founded in the early 19th century in Scotland).

That is my point Todd.

The Lord Lyon granted Clan Young the 'permission' to re-convene, thus there is a Clan Young, even though there is still no chief pending the administrative periods estipulated in order to find a rightful Chief.

So, based on Gilmore's statement (no chief no clan), someone forgot to mention that to the Lord Lyion and the Clan Young members (myself included), as there obviously is a Clan Young, even without a Chief (at the moment)

That is all.
