To All Whom These Presents Do or May Concern,

KENNETH TRIST URQUHART OF URQUHART, CHIEF OF

CLAN URQUHART, Sends Greeting:

            KNOW YE THAT, reposing special trust and confidence in PEOPLE OF SCOTTISH DESCENT BEARING THE NAME CROMARTY who, believing that they have a special historical connection to Clan Urquhart, have, over the years, expressed the wish that they be counted as members of Clan Urquhart; and taking into account evidence which can reasonably be interpreted as supporting belief in a special connection between the Cromarty Family in Orkney and the Urquhart Family in the Old Sheriffdom of Cromarty, We do hereby welcome into Clan Urquhart all people of Scottish descent bearing the name Cromarty who wish to be counted as members of Clan Urquhart and to give the Clan and its Chief the loyalty and support of true clansmen. By this act, THE CHIEF OF CLAN URQUHART RECOGNIZES CROMARTY AS A SEPT OF CLAN URQUHART, granting its members all the powers, privileges, and honours customarily held by loyal clansmen of Clan Urquhart.

             In testimony whereof, We here place our signature in the City of New Orleans, State of Louisiana, United States of America, this fifteenth day of March in the year Two Thousand.
