Hector,

Gilmore is correct in his statement and is following Scots custom. If you search the Standing Council of Scottish Chief's web site, you should find no reference to a Chief of the Clan Young. However, the following article from electricscotland.com does shed some light on Clan Young's status with the Lyon Court:

Many Scottish clans do not have a chief at present, yet this should not deminish the work of their clan societies; witness the Buchanan Society, one of the oldest clan societies (founded in the early 19th century in Scotland).

Regards,

Todd
