Buchan Ancient Tartan

Historical Significance

The Buchan family boasts a rich history dating back to the early 1200s, with Ricardes de Buchan documented as early as 1207. A staunch Jacobite family, they supported the Stewart cause, with Major-General Thomas Buchan leading King James II’s forces during the 1689 rebellions. The clan's chief resides at Auchmacoy, and their tartan is derived from the Cumming clan, to whom they are related. The clan crest features a sun shining on a sunflower, symbolizing their motto, "Non Inferiora Secutus" or "Not having followed mean pursuits." The Buchans have a long-standing connection with the Cummings, starting with the marriage of Margaret, daughter of King Edgar, to William Comyn in 1210. Their legacy is deeply intertwined with Scottish heritage.
