> The note below is from his Newsletter published today.
> The revised web site is now up and has referrals
> to the various clans and some of the related septs are
> also shown on another section. There is also a link
> to the Burkes Peerage that gives a free thumb nail sketch
> of many prominent Scottish people.
>
>
> This site is now the closest that I know of that
> takes into account the legal status from the
> Lord Lyon court, the approval of the Scottish Council of
> Scottish Chiefs and the pending status of the
> others.

> Here is the latest Clan review from Alastair

> Done another update on our Clan Menu. I've now classified the clans as...
>
> ***** = Officially registered clans, with Clan Chiefs, that are registered
> with the Lord Lyon Court.
> **** = Officially registered clans, without Clan Chiefs, that are
registered
> with the Lord Lyon Court and hence are described as armigerous.
> *** = These are clans that are in the process of applying for
registration.
> ** = These names are ones that we have some information on and may be
septs
> of other clans or simply a name where several have got together to try and
> form a clan society. We may further sub divide this classification if we
> find a means of doing so.
>
> I will be doing some ongoing work on this classification business and am
> commencing a search for information on clans that we don't yet have
> information on.
