Category:Armigerous clans

Category for Armigerous clans. In Scots law, a clan only exists as a legally recognized "noble incorporation" when it has a living chief who holds the undifferenced arms confirmed by the Court of the Lord Lyon.

Because these groups currently lack a recognized chief, "armigerous clan" is an informal historical category rather than a legal entity. They possess no official standing under Scottish law, and the Court of the Lord Lyon does not maintain a registry of "chiefless" clans. This category is strictly for tracking family name groups that historically possessed a recognized chief in the past.
