Book Overview

Is every Scottish name a clan-and who decides?

How does one become a clan chief?What is the role of a clan chief today? Author Andrew Morrison-the current Viscount Dunrossil-is well-qualified to answer these and other questions about the history of Scottish clans and chiefs throughout the world. He is the Vice Convenor (vice chairman) of the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Council of Scottish Clans and Associations in the USA.Dunrossil reveals how his own clan, the Morrisons, found a chief again after a gap of some 350 years-as his grandfather was preparing to retire from his role as Speaker in the British Parliament.Scotland may be a small country, yet fifty million people around the world claim Scottish descent-more than 30 million of them in North America.The Making of a Scottish Chief is a must-have for anyone with even a hint of Scotland in their ancestry-it is insightful, informative and laced with wonderful anecdotes reflecting a rich and fascinating history.
