Too Traditional?

creagdhubh ,

Great pic of the leaders of a great clan , The Clan Macpherson !

Very interesting piece of historical info as well regarding the " the three brethern " .

I had a few of my kilted friends over this evening for a small get together ( plus a few ales ) and a few of them brought up the subject of the pic of the Macpherson leaders , so we got on Xmarks and checked it out , all were impressed !

A couple of them asked about the difference between a Clan Chief and a Clan Chieftain as they didn't understand , so I explained it to them . This got me to thinking and the reason for this post .

Given that we have a picture of the Macpherson Clan Chief and the two Chieftains might provide a perfect scenario to help inform some folks of the difference between the titles of Chief and Chieftain .

I understand the difference between the titles , but thought it would not be proper and somewhat impolite for me to explain it here in a post . I thought perhaps this sharing of info would be more appropriate coming from you , as the visual aide to the explanation would be a picture of your Clan leaders not my Clan .

Just thought it might be a good teachable moment for some folks , I am sure many already know this info but some may not .

Best Regards ! Mike

Thank you for your suggestions Mike, they are appreciated indeed. A very nice topic to discuss in my opinion, however, I think I will begin a new thread in a different part of the forum. Keep an eye out for it!

Cheers mate,
