Don't think one on Links was called KB hotel though & wasn't much later. I think Kenny was in Ferry Road by mid 70's. As for being a Jambo Kenny was not really that bothered. Kenny actually applied to join the 50 Club but their constitution said 50 only so KB got a kb & wasn't too chuffed. For a brief period after that he proclaimed himself himself a Yam which is where the legend arose. Kenny could be a dick, can't we all, but he was also very generous & was an astounding fighter. IIRC an unknown called Muhammad Ali was runner up to Ken in Ring magazine's boxer of the year award in the 70's.
It was The Ken Buchanan Hotel and if I recall right it was devastated by fire. Front of Links on the same run as the likes of much loved Sunday afternoon dens like the Culane.
