Such was the case in 1959, when the author's grandfather, \"Shakes\" Morrison-about to be appointed to the House of Lords-met with The Lord Lyon, chief judge of heraldry in Scotland, to discuss a new coat of arms. The meeting would eventually lead to a new chief for the Morrisons, whose membership includes such notables as John Wayne, Van Morrison, Jim Morrison and David Gilmour, among others. \"The Making of a ScottishChief\" examines the complex process-its joys and pitfalls-of selecting the right leader. It is packed with history, folklore and more than a smattering of humour.
