I've never seen anything from the Lyon Court that authorises a clan society president to wear feathers in their bonnet. The following leaflet explains the custom:

I know in the Clan Scott Society, the elected President of the Society is titled 'Chieftan' and is accepted as a clan chieftan by the heraldic chief of Clan Scott.
I'd like to see a statement from the Duke of Buccleuch regarding this claim, or if the Lord Lyon recognises it. Again, I've never heard of such a practice before.
Respectfully,
Todd
