The wearing of eagle feathers (and in the case of Glengarry, rook feathers) is a matter of convention. The Sovereign as "Chief of Chiefs" is entitled to wear 4 eagle feathers. The eldest son or heir presumptive of a Chief and Chieftains of Clans wears two eagle feathers. Gentlemen (or Gentlewomen) of the Clan, that is a person who has their own coat of arms, is entitled to wear one eagle feather. |
The general public are invited to assemble at 11.30am on the last Sunday of November at the Macquarie Street end of Martin Place, after the St Andrew's Day morning church service in St Stephen's Uniting Church, Macquarie Street.
