Meet The Buchanans

A clash of tartans in this offbeat documentary charting the run up to and coming inauguration of the newly-confirmed Chief of Clan Buchanan: millionaire Scottish landowner Mike Buchanan. With no chief for 300 years and few historical records to go on, ritual and ceremony are being freely invented - even as hundreds of kilt-wearing enthusiasts flock to the Buchanans’ magnificent Highland estate for the event. Are the Buchanans reinvigorating Scottish tradition as they say, or are they following Scottish novelist and old house guest, Sir Walter Scott, continuing the idea of a 'Romantic Scotland'? 'Meet the Buchanans' is a rare chance to witness history in the making (up). It’s a surprising and sideways look at how traditions are created and the real pull of belonging. This special screening will be introduced in person by Director/Producer Barbara Orton, who will also provide an audience Q&A after the film.DocumentaryPT2HPG2026-01-12
