The Clan Buchanan -
About the middle of the thirteenth century, Gibert, seneschal to the Earl of Lennox, obtained from him a part of the lands of Buchanan in Stirlingshire and took his name from them. An ecclesiastical origin is claimed for the surname, as in Gaelic a Buchanan is known as ‘Mac-a-Chanonaich — the Son of the Canon — and the place-name Buchanan (Both-chanain) really means the canon’s seat.
