In civilian life chiefs, chieftains, and lairds (the duine uasail, or "gentlemen of the clan") are generally entitled to pipe banners. These should display the arms over the whole banner. The ribbons (and cords) of the pipes should reflect the livery colours of the pipe banner. For those interested, a chief has three pipers, a chieftain two, and a duine uasail one piper. Only the senior piper of a chief or chieftain, as well as the piper of a duine uasail, bear the pipe banner, which is attached to the tallest drone by ribbons. The pipe banner is only displayed when the chief, chieftain, or duine uasail is personally present.
