When Berry residents Shona and Paul Gibson met a friendly Scottish couple at a function in Canberra in 2019, they had no idea it would lead them to the pomp and ceremony of a Scottish clan inauguration.
John Michael Baillie-Hamilton Buchanan was on a trip to Australia, after finding out that years of genealogical research had revealed he was the chief of Clan Buchanan in Scotland.
Mr Buchanan was in the process of organising his inauguration when the Gibsons mentioned they had years of experience in event management.
