Charles Robert Lund (Rob) Strachan (born 5 June 1960 in Münster, West Germany (BAOR)), from the Mill of Strachan, Strachan in Aberdeenshire, is the appointed Commander of Clan Strachan. Rob is well travelled, having lived in six countries in the Middle East (Kuwait, Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and Algeria) interspersed with 6 years in Canada as his father Maj. Benjamin Leckie Strachan, CMG, served as a British Ambassador and diplomat.^[1]

Strachan is the heir presumptive to the Mill of Strachan, a property of 50 acres in the District of Strachan. The property is agricultural; and is used for sheep farming, a riding school, a highland pony stud, and a fishery.^[2]

Clan Strachan held a Family Convention (or Ad Hoc Derbhfine) on 11 April 2014, in Edinburgh. This was a formal meeting supervised by Charles Burnett, Ross Herald Extraordinary, who had been appointed by the Lord Lyon King of Arms to preside. The meeting ended amicably with unanimous support for Rob Strachan to be recognized as Commander.^[3]

On 23 April 2014, Dr. Joseph J. Morrow, Lord Lyon King of Arms signed a warrant appointing Strachan as Commander of Clan Strachan. Strachan will serve as Commander for up to 10 years (perhaps less), "after which it is hoped he will be recognized by the Crown as hereditary Chief of Strachan".^[4]
