At the Gates of Dunvegan Castle
The Management Council of the Associated Clan MacLeod Societies met in Edinburgh on 17th February 2007. Amongst other business the following Resolution was proposed, seconded and passed unanimously:
�The Associated Clan Macleod Societies comprising the Clan MacLeod Societies of Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, New Zealand, the Republic of South Africa, Scotland and the United States of America do recognise, acknowledge, acclaim and welcome Hugh MacLeod of MacLeod as 30th Chief of Clan MacLeod and of the whole name.�
The President of ACMS, Dr Malcolm Macleod, OBE, forwarded a copy of this Resolution to Lord Lyon. He said: �The last few weeks have been full of mixed emotions for the Clan and particularly for the family of the late Chief John. We mourn the passing of Chief John. He was a wonderful man; intelligent, warm-hearted, accessible, shrewd, international and a true friend, who embodied the virtues of a modern Chief. His son Hugh is a worthy heir and successor and the Clan MacLeod Societies welcome him with acclaim as Chief Hugh MacLeod of MacLeod, 30th Chief of the Clan MacLeod.�
