Inauguration of the 23rd Chief of MacBean.

[Jock Scot]

-----------------------

Here is his son Richard McBain of McBain, now 23rd Chief, and his wife at home in Arizona.

Thank you OCR, for the information. I am just wondering what the top Silver(?) badge on his left chest denotes? I assume the bottom badge on his breast pocket is the Clan Crest.

Personally, whilst I recognise the 23rd Chief has predominantly American connections these days, I think it was disappointing that he could not have attired himself rather more traditionally for the ceremony, to be more in keeping with his undoubted connection to Scotland. Nevertheless as Clan Chief he, like the rest of us, can dress as he sees fit.
