I have some questions about the “Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs” (SCSC).

Does it represent the interests of all Scottish clans? Do most clan chiefs belong?

The Chiefs of at least 8 Clans (Carnegie, Fergusson, Haig, Lindsay, Maxwell, Menzies, Murray, Ruthven) are listed as having asked to be removed from the council. Why is this? Is it a controversial group?

Just curious.
