Our Chief is The Rt Hon Robert Alexander Lindsay, 29th Earl of Crawford and 12th Earl of Balcarres, KT, GCVO, PC, DL, who is the premier earl of Scotland.
Our crest-badge features a swan in its natural colours, white with yellow beak, within a gold crest coronet heightened with four (three visible) strawberry-leaves. A monochrome version is shown right.
The swan is Cirean Ceann Cinnidh, the Crest of our Clan Chief.
The badge may be blazoned as "A swan’s head, neck and wings proper issuing from an antique crest coronet Or all within a strap and buckle bearing the Chief’s motto ENDURE FORT".
The distinctive Lindsay tartan of burgundy, green and dark blue is one of the most popular tartans.
There are two principal variants of the Lindsay tartan, the Ancient Lindsay and Modern Lindsay. While the Ancient (1 - far left) is vibrant and striking, based on traditional natural dies, the Modern (2) is more subtle and understated. The Lindsay Blue Dress (3) and Lindsay Red Dress (4 - far right) are commonly selected by competitive highland dancers. The Lindsay Muted and Lindsay Weathered variations (not shown) are rarely seen.
The activities of our Society are overseen by a Board of Management comprising
