Allegiance and chief-less clans

[Sketraw]

Hi Scott, Romilly's & George's account of what is required to establish a New Chief in their book was updated in Feb 2002 by then Lyon Blair. The new updated requirements as Todd pointed out can be found here http://www.clan-duncan.co.uk/clan-re...derbhfine.html

However the one thing that does not appear in the ruling is that any new Commander/Chief must be a resident in Scotland for over 3 years.

Thanks for the updated info! I'm sure it will make its way into the next edition of G&R's book... I'm not sure how Robin Blair's residency requirement would stand up under EU law. A person resident in any EU member state is supposed to have the same standing in a British court (and that includes the Court of the Lord Lyon) as any person resident in the UK, including Scotland. But then it's no longer former Lord Lyon Blair's problem, is it?
