Provenance
Earliest known date: 4th July 2011 The McHeadley Society is a private fraternal gentlemen's club. The name is a combination of a few of the founder's surnames, all of whom were at University together. The members are spread from Florida to California and gather several times a year to play golf, travelling to Ireland or Scotland every other year. The Society supports several charitable causes, always anonymously. Its Motto is 'Faith, Family, Friendship'. Membership of the Society now extends to a second generation as several sons now join the gatherings. This sett is taken from the Boyd tartan in respect of Taylor Boyd (a member of the McHeadley Society), but altered to favour green with accents in blue, red and yellow.
