The Chieftain of the Day for the 2024 Melbourne Highland Games and Celtic Festival will be Frank McGregor.

Frank is the High Commissioner and Chief’s Lieutenant for Clan Gregor Australia and the Honorary Consul for the United Kingdom in Tasmania.

The Clan Gregor Society is one of the oldest clan societies in the world, being established in 1822.

In 2016, Frank helped co-ordinate a documentary on the Clan Gregor Society with Charles Wooley from Sixty minutes called No Surrender.

In 2018, Clan Chief Sir Malcolm MacGregor awarded Frank with the title of High Commissioner and Chiefs Lieutenant with the approval and official documentation from the Lord Lyon Court of Scotland, enabling Frank to wear the feathers of the position.

Melbourne Highland Gathering and Celtic Festival will be held on Sunday, 24th March at Eastfield Park, Croydon.
