I can still picture him wearing the kilt, sporran etc. but for headdress he was wearing a native Indian get up/warbonnet with loads and loads of of feathers. Looked quite bizarre.

You mght be thinking of Waldo E. McIntosh, Jr. His father immigrated to the US from ascotland and married a Creek princess. Not sure about his authority within Clan MacKitosh but is (or was) the hereditary chief of the Creek people.

Here's a thread with a photo.
