TENETS OF

The Order of the Lion Rampant

(extracted from its Charter: Sections 1 to 3.1)

1           The Order of the Lion Rampant exists to Defend, Protect and Preserve:

1.1         the Kingdom of Scots

1.2         its Head of State (The Head of the Royal House of Scotland according to Law) [q.v. section 1.3]

1.3         The Law of Succession as formalised and embodied in the Acta Parliamentorum Caroli II, 13^th August 1681

1.4         its Government as embodied by The Three Estates

1.6         the Clan system, their government by their respective Chiefs and ultimate government by the Chief of Chiefs (the King or Queen of Scots)

1.7         the Culture and traditions of the Kingdom of Scots

1.8         the Royal Rights and Prerogatives of the Head of the Royal House of Scotland

1.9     the Gaelic language

2.         The Order of The Lion Rampant (also known as The Defenders of Scotland) is a peaceful and non-political organisation.

The O.L.R. champions & cherishes the principles and ideals of a Chivalric Order and is structured along the lines thereof : its members as metaphorical Knights defending the Rights of their Monarch, his subjects and what they know to be true.

The O.L.R. works to see the Head of the Royal House of Scotland, the Declaration of Arbroath, the Three Estates, the Committee of the Articles and all Scots legislation (pre-1689) restored and operative under a Constitutional Monarchy governing an independent Kingdom of Scots.  Further, to bring this Cause to a wider public knowledge through publicity, events and our traditions.

3.         The O.L.R. shall defend, protect and Preserve the elements stated (Section 1, sub-sections 1.1 – 1.9) and further its Cause (Section 2) through the following actions and activities:

3.1       the O.L.R. shall seek to educate the public (with particular reference to the Scottish public), the International Community and Scots and their descendants worldwide; with respect to the historical and legal context of Scotland’s on-going Independence, its Monarch and Royal Family and what steps we need to take to re-establish The Kingdom of Scots as an independent, functioning part of the International Community.
