McLean of Coll coat of arms
Last matriculated by Alexander McLean of Coll in 1802, these are the personal arms of the Chief and should not be displayed by a clansman. Supporters (in this case the hound and ostrich) are only to be used by a Chief. Within Clan Gillean, this is only Duart, Lochbuie and Coll.
Any person attempting to claim the position of Chief of Coll, would be required to matriculate these arms and prove to the Lord Lyon of Scotland that he is the closest in lineal descent to the last Chief of Coll.
