Nice looking tent.

Wonderful tent. Like all the banners. Did you make the chief banner?

**Harold Cannon** · 13th October 12, 10:20 PM

Which banner are you talking about Thomas?

Good job cousins

Not bad! I see the MacMillan Hunting tartan was being well showcased in both it's ancient and weathered (reproduction) varieties. I hope you all had a great time at the Games. I hope to see many MacMillans up at Stone Mountain this weekend, as well!

The banner of our chief, George MacMillan of MacMillan and Knap is only flown when he is present. The two banners in front of the clan tent display the arms of Harold Cannon (on the higher staff as convener for the games) and yours truly.

Here are two renderings of our chief's standard.

Here is his banner of arms.

And this is his banner:

The banner depicts the chief's coat of arms on a rectangle and is only displayed when the chief is present to denote his physical location. It may be carried in a procession or flown from a flagstaff at the chief's tent (or anywhere else the chief may be). Some chiefs permit their banner to be displayed inside a clan tent as a way of showing their arms -- when this occurs the banner should be displayed as a wall hanging, and not on a flag pole. ~ MoR
