 As mentioned above Clan Strachan Society held a Family Convention (Ad Hoc Derbhfine) in 2014 to recognize a new Commander for Clan Strachan, Rob Strachan, Mill of Strachan, Strachan, Aberdeenshire.The Commander will likely become the hereditary Chief of Clan Strachan after waiting 10 years.This 'waiting period' is to determine if a more legitimate claimant to the Chiefdom comes forth with a documented blood line (found satisfactory to the Lord Lyon) that proves descent from the past Chief (or a cadet branch therein).
