ROMANTIC SCOTLAND
You might be forgiven for imagining that the Scottish clan chief has been lost to history, taking his eagle feathers and his savage warriors with him. Although the violent battles of the past one thousand years may now be restricted to television dramas such as Game of Thrones, the eagle feathers remain — tucked in the cap of the clan chiefs, who are still very much around, thank you kindly. Many of their family histories feature tales of heads on spikes, murderous gangs and arson attacks, but today’s clan chiefs take a rather more civilised approach to life. There’s less fighting and more reuniting — of members of the clan from all over the world. According to the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, there are one hundred and twenty five clan chiefs, representing a great breadth of Scottish families, with surnames from Agnew to Wemyss.
