Historical Significance
Clan Buchanan is renowned in Scottish history, named after the lands they settled on the eastern side of Loch Lomond over the last 700 years. The name "Buchanan" is believed to originate from "McAuslan," meaning "son of Ansel." In Gaelic, it is "Mac a' Chanon Aich," translating to "Son of the Canon." The Buchanan family historian notes that these lands were granted to the clan chief in recognition of their valiant service against the Danes during the reign of Malcolm II. The clan's history is deeply intertwined with Scotland's tumultuous past, and the Buchanan Ancient Tartan serves as a proud symbol of their enduring legacy and contribution to Scottish heritage.'
Color Scheme & Pattern
