The Order of the Royal Huntsman was created by Madam Pauline in 1998 to recognize those Clan members who have made an outstanding commitment to Clan Hunter.

The award is normally only given to one person annually except for the first year of its inception when the first three Clan Officers to serve Clan Hunter were given the award.

They were Albert Hunter Clan Officer of Australia,
John Hunter Clan Officer for Canada and
Charles Hunter Clan Officer/ President for the USA.

In agreeing to become the first Clan Officers for Clan Hunter
they also committed themselves to setting up the Clan Associations with all the hard work that the task entailed in their respective countries.

The Order of the Royal Huntsman was so named in ecognition of the dedicated service that the Hunters have given to the Scottish Crown in the past as Royal Huntsmen
