Well I just have to pipe up here and let everyone know that Chanticleer is
the name of our Newsletter here in Australia (which will be coming out in
March) :):)
And of course, Chanticleer is something of a "nickname" (I believe) for a
cockerel or rooster - and we all know what the Clan Crest is, don't we!
:) So I'd say you're onto something there Iain!
Happy hunting!
Margaret :)
