The Earldom of Buchan was the most powerful ancient earldom in the Highlands and as such was much fought over. The first Buchan on record was Ricadus de Buchan, clerk of the bishopic of Aberdeen in 1207-8, but the name also travelled north and south; Andrew B uchan who died about 1309 became Bishop of Caithness, Thomas Buchan of Edinburgh rendered homage in 1296 and Malcolm and Patrick Buchan were tenants of the Douglas in Morton. The most prominent family of the name of the Buchans in Aberdeenshire were the Buchans of Auchmacoy who first emerged in the 15th century. Thomas Buchan of Auchmacoy, third son of James Buchan of Auchmacoy is known as a Jacobite general of the 15th century. He succeeded Graham of Claverhouse, generally known as Bonnie Dundee after hi s death at the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689. He became the leader of James VII's forces in Scotland against William but was defeated in 1690 and consequently had to flee to the exiled court at St Germain in 1692. The most famous Buchan of this century was John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, the celebrated author of the "Thirty-Nine Steps" and "Greenmantle". He was also a member of Parliament and Governor-General of Canada from 1935-1940. Septs of the Clan: Buchan, Comine, Comyn, MacNiven, Niven, Russell.
