The ban was repealed in 1775 and the Chiefship is vested in MacGregor of MacGregor Baronet. Clan GREGOR Tartans   Ancient MacGregor Ancient Hunting MacGregor Modern MacGregor Rob Roy MacGregor *Disclaimer: The tartans, crests and coats of arms on this web site are for the pure enjoyment of the graphics. There is no such thing as a "Family Coat of Arms." A coat of arms is issued to an individual, not to a family. The study of coats of arms is called heraldry. People who control the issuance of coat of arms are the heralds. They decide who is authorized to display as their own, a certain coat of arms. Even the heir of such an individual may not claim their ancestor's coat of arms without the authorization from the heralds. For more information, visit the College of Arms web site or Dick Eastman's article, Pssst! Want to Buy Your Family’s Coat of Arms?. I included this information because it is interesting, not because it bears any factual information.
