The Family Convention of Currie

Call for Qualified Attendees

1:00 pm at Glasgow City Chambers (82 George Square, G2 1DU)​

The Learned Kindred of Currie has called for Candidates; those who believe that they have the qualifications and interest to be considered for the Chiefship of the Name and Arms of Currie. 

The Chief must be approved by the Family Convention of Currie (once called a Derbhfine) and recognized by the Lyon Court.

The Family Convention of Currie will be held at the Glasgow City Chambers (82 George Square, G2 1DU) on 14 November 2026 at 1:00 pm.

The Learned Kindred of Currie seeks to gain formal recognition of a Chief of the Name and Arms of Currie by the Lord Lyon King of Arms.

The Family Convention of Currie will vote for a Chief from among Candidates, who believe that they have the qualifications and interest to be considered for the Chiefship of the Name and Arms of the Learned Kindred of Currie.  The Chief will be selected by a Family Convention, overseen by Roderick Macpherson, Unicorn Pursuivant, as the appointed Supervising Officer. Recognition will then be sought from the Lord Lyon, presiding over the Lyon Court.

Join our global family and help us keep Scottish traditions thriving for future generations!

Qualifications for potential voting Attendees to the Family Convention of Currie:

  • A person should bear the surname “Currie” – whether they bear the surname because it is their surname recorded at birth, they adopted use of that surname later in life or they bear that surname following upon marriage – and provide evidence of that fact.
    • Other names that can be traced to the original “MacMhuirich” (literally, “son of Muireach Albannach, the bard”) such as Curry, Currier, MacCurry, MacVurich, MacMureach, or sometimes on some of the Gaelic-speaking islands:  MacPherson or MacMillan, may also qualify.*
  • That evidence could simply be producing a passport, driving licence, bank or credit card statement, utility bill or the like.

Electronic voting for those unable to attend the Family Convention of Currie in person will be possible, but Attendees must meet the same qualifications as above.

Links to register as Qualified Attendees and to observe and vote in the Family Convention of Currie electronically will be forthcoming.

* Qualified attendees may be required to provide documentation. Decisions are to be determined by Roderick Macpherson, Unicorn Pursuivant, appointed by the Lord Lyon.
