In this print titled "A new twist to the Highland fling?", we witness boxing legend Ken Buchanan donning the traditional tartan attire. However, it is not Ken who steals the spotlight, but rather his young fans who are joyfully leaping about in excitement. Their infectious energy and enthusiasm perfectly complement Ken's striking outfit, which is sure to make heads turn when he steps off the plane in Los Angeles on January 29th, 1971. Transporting us back to the vibrant era of the 1970s, this image captures a unique blend of sport and culture. As a renowned lightweight boxer during that time period, Ken Buchanan's decision to embrace his Scottish heritage through fashion adds an intriguing twist to his already illustrious career. The kilt symbolizes tradition and pride while simultaneously showcasing individuality and flair. The children surrounding him embody pure delight as they jump with unbridled glee. Their admiration for their idol is palpable; their innocent faces radiate sheer happiness at being in his presence. This heartwarming scene reminds us of how sports heroes have the power to inspire and bring immense joy into people's lives.
