Commander Selection Process FAQ
Why Are We Choosing a Clan Commander?
In 1672, George Logan of that Ilk registered arms and was officially recognized
as the holder of the title “Logan of that Ilk,” which is seen today as analogous
to being the Chief of Name and Arms of Logan – or more popularly, Chief of
Clan Logan. At this time, Clan Logan has no chief as recognized under Scots
Law. The chiefly line ended in 1802, when the last chief, Hugh Logan, died
with no legitimate heirs.
The Family and Highland Clan of Logan is now called to come together as a
united family and select a clan commander, whose job will be, over at least a 10-
year period, to find the rightful heir to the title Chief of Name and Arms of
Logan.
For more information on the historical line of the Chiefs of Logan, please see
