Armigerous Clans

[Bugbear]

I know this is an improbable scenario but humor me. Are any of the Chiefs non-Scots? Could some kind of wacky King Ralph story play out? Would hilarity ensue or would the Lord Lyon take one look at the passport and say "Oh hell no!" Genealogically speaking, it seems that any movement from Scotland would add a lot of water to the ancestral claim.

Yes, for example, the current chief of the Lamont clan is Australian, and lives there, from what I understand.

There are quite a few chiefs that reside in/were born in countries other than Scotland. The chief of Macleod of Lewis is also Australian and I read somwhere that the chief of Clan Murray, the Duke of Atholl, is from South Africa. We have a couple residing here in the U.S. as well.
