Welcome to the Youngs of Scotland
Progress towards Commandership
Youngs of Scotland are in the planning stages towards a Young Family Convention in the first weekend of September in 2028 or 2029 to select a Commander. This is provisional on receiving approval from The Lord Lyon.
Dr Bruce Durie has been engaged as a consultant for the preparation and planning of the Family Convention.
Dr Bruce Durie’s conclusion on the Young of Auldbar and Young of Bailieborough research:
“I now doubt there is a genealogical claim to Chiefship, and I believe there is insufficient evidence to determine Young of Bailieborough as a hereditary Chief line or to receive agreement from The Lord Lyon.”
Bruce's full report can be found in the documents section below, published with permission.
A Commander Selection Committee has been formed, and terms of reference have been confirmed by Youngs of Scotland Council.
Please check back regularly for updates on our progress.
