Under Scots Law the name (in a limited sense) is the property of the Chief, who is legally styled: "Chief of the Name and the Arms of Clan X". The Scottish Tartan Authority checks with Clan Chiefs before registering a tartan with a clan name or connection.
So, when it was registered, did the chef get the request for approval from the STA?
