As you might know, our Clan has no Chief; we are, indeed, probably the largest and most important Chiefless Clan.

   While there have been efforts to secure us a Chief since at least the 1950s, it became especially clear at The Gathering in Edinburgh, 2009, that Clans without Chiefs were firmly in the second rank. We all determined then that a Chief of the McEwen Clan had to be found.

   Hugh Peskett, world-famous genealogist, was engaged and, thanks to him, the Lord Lyon is now preparing to stage a "family convention" at which, it is hoped, we might be able to elect a Chief or, at least, a Commander of the Clan.

   The Lord Lyon has never before arranged anything of this nature and is feeling his way. He is preparing to contact prominent Clansfolk and societies etc in order to provide a suitable gathering. If anyone feels that they know somebody who they think should be involved, please get in touch with the Clan Ewen Society.

   No one is sure how long the process will take or how much it will cost. However, if anyone wishes to contribute to the Chiefship Fund, please refer to the PayPal information on the website.

   As this promises to be the best illustration yet of our stirring Clan motto, we hope that this will prove an inspirational event for all Clansfolk.

REVIRESCO! We Shall Rise Again!
