Call for candidates
The House of MacAlpine seeks to gain formal recognition of the Chief of the Name of MacAlpine by Lord Lyon King of Arms.
We now call for Candidates, those who believe that they have the qualifications and interest to be considered as candidates for the Chiefship of the Name MacAlpine. The Chief will be selected by a Family Convention of MacAlpines, overseen by Prof. Gillian Black, Carrick Pursuivant, as the appointed Supervising Officer. Recognition will then be sought from the Lord Lyon, presiding over the Lyon Court.
Candidates must bear their own expenses and attend the Family Convention. Candidates may be able to participate by video link, if unable to attend in person. Attendance in person, however, is highly preferable.
Qualifications for Potential Candidates:
A person must bear the surname “MacAlpine” (or derivatives) and provide evidence of that fact. Sudden changes to a surname at the last minute just to be eligible to be a candidate will not be accepted.
Other names that can be traced to the original “MacAilpein” such as McAlpine, McAlpin, or other variations, may also qualify.
Evidence could simply be producing a passport, driver's license, bank or credit card statement, utility bill or other documentation.

How? If you're a MacAlpine by marriage, then encourage your husband to be active and register to sign the petition and vote, once we send out the request for action.
If you were born a MacAlpine and have since married and changed your name to that of your husband, we need to add you to our roll call using both your maiden name and married name.
While there can only be one vote per household (by address), being born a MacAlpine woman gives you a voice.
