 A person with documented blood line to the past Chief (or a cadet branch) would have a priority claim for the Chiefship.As no one in 186+ years has come forth to claim the Strachan Chiefship, it is expected the appointed Commander (Rob Strachan, Mill of Strachan) will eventually become the recognized and legal hereditary Chief of Clan Strachan.The Clan Strachan Society in July 2012 was issued a new Grant of Arms by the Lord Lyon.
