The Rollo Clan Chief is David, 14th Lord Rollo and Baron Dunning. The Rollos are members of the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs. Lord Rollo's family has produced many generations of distinguished military men. David and his father Eric (the 13th Lord) were both Captains of the Grenadier Guards. David's grandfather John (the 12th Lord) was with the 1st Battalion of the Black Watch. The 11th Lord, William Charles Wordsworth Rollo, was Lt Colonel of the 3rd Battalion of the Black Watch (Royal Highlanders). Andrew, the 5th Lord, served as a Brigadier General in the First American War.

The Clan Chief's family links with Scotland can be traced back over 600 years. The Chief's badge (above) is the symbol of clan affiliation and is generally worn as a bonnet badge by clansmen. A clansman is one who professes allegiance to his clan Chief and respects the law of Arms in Scotland.

Under Scottish law, the Rollo Arms (colloquially the family crest) are personal to Lord Rollo, and may not be used or displayed by others without permission. Even an eldest son may not bear his father's arms during his father's lifetime. On the death of the owner of arms, it descends to his heir (normally the eldest son). The Chief also has a standard (see below). The badge, arms and standard all bear the motto "La fortune passe partout" (Fortune passes over everywhere).

There is a Rollo Clan Association which meets annually, usually in Perthshire, Scotland. Members of the Clan Association receive a Newsletter each northern Spring and Autumn. There is a range of Rollo Clan paraphernalia available form the Association, including:

• Tartan cloth

• Clan ties and scarves

• Crested whisky tumblers

• Clan badges, crests and kilt-pins, and

• Crested leisure wear, etc

The Clan has its own tartan, reproduced below.
