CommanderMichael T. McAlpin

Family MacAlpin(e) is a Scottish clan without a Hereditary 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][4] as Commander of MacAlpine from Dr. Joseph Morrow the Lord Lyon.[5] 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.
