Meet The Buchanans

Name: Meet The Buchanans
Genre: Documentary
Released: 2025-08-31
Duration: 2 h

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. Whether Scotland and its history are seen romantically, authentically, or somewhere in between, '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.DocumentaryPT2HPG2025-08-31
