Below the tabel is printed "The Chief of each respective Clan to wear two Eagles Feathers in his Bonnet in addition to the Distinguishing badge of his Clan". This might seem to indicate that this was printed for a particular event possibly a part of the visit of the King to Scotland organized by Sir Walter Scott in 1822.</p> R. Menzies, Printer
