Scotland’s ancient clans unite to ‘crown’ Buchanan chief

Clan Buchanan, one of Scotland’s most ancient clans, reunited for the inauguration of the first Buchanan Clan Chief for over 340 years.

 

The newly appointed true heir and chief of the Buchanan Clan, John Michael Baillie-Hamilton Buchanan, was heralded in by trumpet fanfare and accompanied by a procession of pipers, banner bearers and twelve fellow clan chiefs.
