"Buffalo Bill in Scotland" Documentary

[Diane Merkel]

I received a note from Alan Knight, the director/producer of a new documentary called, "Buffalo Bill in Scotland." It will be "a documentary feature film about the American icon Buffalo Bill and his Wild West show which visited Scotland in 1891-92 and 1904.

"The film will be a mix of interviews, archive material and high quality animation, depicting the events surrounding Bill Cody's Scottish tours. The material is being adapted from a book, 'Your Fathers the Ghosts - Buffalo Bill's Wild West in Scotland' by Tom F. Cunningham, a publication packed full of fascinating anecdotes and cultural exchanges."

Diane i have been work with the descendants of Rain in The face to repatriate the beaded vest of Rain In the Face from Scotland Muesum they calim that Buffalo Bills show sold the vest to them

I'd love to see some evidence to say that the vest was actually Rain's. Hope I'm wrong but I thought it was a piece of marketing. Rain had, probably underserved, a reputation and saying something belonged to him might have been a way to sell it on.

I have to admit, I used to love going to Kelvingrove to see their small collection of Plains items.
