Clan MacMillan tent at the North Alabama Scottish Festival

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Earlier this year the Chief of Clan MacMillan authorized the use of swallow-tailed livery pennants by the various branches of the Clan MacMillan Society. Made by Caber Dancer, the pennants are 2ft x 6ft and display the chief's crest within a strap and buckle at the hoist, with the name of the branch on the fly. The clan pennants are in the livery colours of the chief, which represent the principle metal (gold) and colour (black) on the chief's arms. The chief's standard, which is gold, is approximately twice as long, and bears his personal badge at the hoist, with his territorial designation (Cnap) along the fly.

Flown from a lochaber axe, the pennant had its first outing in Alabama when Harold Cannon (seen here) proudly carried it in the parade of clans.
