Meet The Buchanans
For 300 years, the Scottish Clan Buchanan has been without a chief. Until now… ‘Meet the Buchanans’ is a unique documentary taking a look at the run up to the offbeat inauguration of Scottish millionaire landowner Mike Buchanan, as the newly confirmed Clan Buchanan Highland Chief, along with his wife Lady Paula and teenage family. With historical records in short supply, the family freely invent ceremony, ritual and entitlement within their new role, revealing the hidden world of wealth and privilege within the British elite. When hundreds of tartan-mad enthusiasts flock to deepest Perthshire to join the three day ceremonial bonanza on their magnificent Highland Estate, historical fact and historical fantasy collide, revealing not only whether they can pull off the event, but also how history is made (up) and by whom. 'Meet the Buchanans' takes a sideways look at the meaning of Scottish Clans in the contemporary world, raising important questions around class, national identity, historical values and traditions. Whether you prefer Scotland and its history to be represented romantically, authentically, or somewhere in between… come and see this unique film for yourself and have your say in the post screening Q&A! This special screening will be introduced in person by Director/Producer Barbara Orton, who will also provide an audience Q&A after the film.DocumentaryPT2HPG2025-08-31Barbara Orton
