Clan MacAlpin(e) is a Scottish clan without a Hereditary Clan Chief recognized by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. However, following a Petition to the Lord Lyon King of Arms, a Family Convention (or Derbhfine) was held at Abbotsford House the home of Sir Walter Scott on 10 September 2016[1]. The Family Conclave selected and recommended Michael Todd McAlpin Senior for the role of Commander. On 19 April 2017 Michael received his Commission[2][3] as Commander of MacAlpine from Dr. Joseph Morrow the Lord Lyon.[4] This Commission has empowered him to do and perform all acts and functions proper for a period of ten years or until a Chief is named.
History
The MacAlpine surname is still common in Scotland today but there is little trace of any clan of the name.[5] The former chiefs apparently had their seat on lands that are now Dunstaffnage Castle in Argyll, which was an early capital of Kenneth MacAlpin,[5] who was King of the Picts and according to myth, the first King of Scots.
