Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs

1

The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs (SCSC) is an organisation that represents many prominent clan chiefs and Chiefs of the Name and Arms in Scotland. It claims to be the primary and most authoritative source of information on the Scottish clan system.

History

The organisation was originally founded in 1952 by Diana Hay, 23rd Countess of Erroll and chief of Clan Hay, who served as the Lord High Constable of Scotland at the time. Since its founding, the council has convened regularly to discuss matters of importance to the clan system. As of August 2023, Sir Malcolm MacGregor, chief of Clan Gregor, is currently serving as the acting convenor of the council. Sir Malcolm assumed the convenor role following the demise of Donald MacLaren, chief of Clan MacLaren in July 2023. Prior to MacLaren's tenure, Sir Malcolm had previously held the role himself.
