The Mackintosh of Mackintosh (34th Chief) announcing the Games at their ancestral home, Moy near Inverness, 2009. I have another photo of him and others from Clan Chattan including Sir William McPherson of Cluny and Richard MacBain, but it doesn't orient well vertically.

Here's a sampling from the Bellingham (WA) Highland Games for consideration:

From L to R, myself, Lady Fiona MacGregor, and Capt. Sir Malcolm MacGregor of MacGregor. Lady Fiona's maiden name was Armstrong, and I'm wearing the Armstrong tartan (my grandmother). I enjoyed meeting them immensely.
