Clan Henderson Bodyguards

The Hendersons of Glencoe served as hereditary bodyguards and pipers to the MacDonalds of Glencoe. Today, the Clan Henderson Society continues this proud tradition through our Bodyguard organisation, which serves the Chief and represents the clan at Highland Games and events across the world.
