OUR CHIEF

It is with pleasure that we publish this photograph of the Clan Chief, the Earl of Dundee, who has from the outset given the Association his cordial support. We hope in a later issue to describe the romance of his successful action in the 1950's to recover the family titles, in abeyance for almost 300 years. That Lord Dundee has had a distinguished career in his own right is shown by the following extract from the 1972 "Who's Who":-
