October 17 - 19 2008
Each year more than 100 Scottish Clans and Societies find temporary homes in our Clan Row.
Clans invited to sponsor are limited to those Scottish Clans whose chief is entitled to three feathers or, if the chiefship is vacant, would be entitled to wear three feathers upon being recognized as chief by the Lord Lyon. The primary source used by Stone Mountain Highland Games for making such determination is the Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia by George Way of Plean and Romilly Squire.
Society sponsorship is open to officially recognized general Scottish societies, such as St. Andrews Societies, Burns Clubs, Caledonian Societies, etc., with membership open to all who may qualify. The Stone Mountain Highland Games may require a copy of articles of incorporation or constitution and by laws for any such Society should the organizers not be familiar with the Society in question.
Only one tent will be available for each clan or society. When more than one group wishes to represent the same Clan, those groups must agree to share the same tent space and position in the Parade of Tartans. Both groups must sponsor in order to be listed in the program. Only one Clan Sponsorship application will be approved in lieu of such aggrement.
Participation activities and events such as the Parade of Tartans and Clan Challenge are restricted to Sponsoring Clans and Societies only.
Invitations will be mailed to those organizations participating in past events. Materials will be mailed to the address of record (last year's sponsoring clansperson). If you would like to be considered for an invitation please and do not receive this invitation or are not expecting to receive one, due to change of address, change of situation or other such change, please contact us at clans@smhg.org Include particulars regarding qualification to be a sponsoring clan or society.
