Clan crest: Sunflower turning to the sun
Clan Buchan is a Scottish clan. The Clan Buchan are of no relation to the Clan Buchanan despite their similar name. The name Buchan is also considered a sept of the Clan Cumming (Comyn).
Origins of the Clan
The name Buchan is derived from the district of Buchan, in the north east of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire.
The ancient Mormaerdom and Earldom of Buchan came into the hands of the Clan Comyn, but they later lost it after they were defeated by Robert the Bruce.
The title of Earl of Buchan then went to Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, who was also known as the Wolf of Badenoch.
The geographical name of Buchan was used by notable inhabitants of the district even though they may not have had a provable connection to the Earls of Buchan.
The historian, Black, lists one Ricardus de Buchan as a clerk to the bishopric of Aberdeen in 1207.
Before 1281 William Buchan held land in Aberdeen.
In 1296 Sir Thomas de Boghan appears in the Ragman Rolls giving homage to Edward I of England.
Sir Thomas's lands were around Edinburgh, and his seal includes an eight rayed figure which may represent the shining sun, which also forms part of the clan chief's crest.
It is not known definitively when the Buchans gained their lands of Auchmacoy.
However, in 1446 Andrew Buchan of Achmakwy was amongst those appointed to settle the boundaries of the lands of St Peter's Hospital.
Auchmacoy is believed to have been in the possession of the family from the beginning of the 14th century.
However it was not until 1503 when Andrew Buchan, reckoned the second chief of Clan Buchan, received a charter for the lands from James IV of Scotland. Wikipedia

=== family notes ===
Marjory or Margaret, Fergus’ daughter and heiress, succeeded before 1211, as between that date and 1214, King William the Lion confirmed a grant by her of the church of Turrif to the abbey of Aberbrothoc. Though the Mormaers and Celtic Earls of Bucan must have resided within the districts under their jurisdiction, Countess Marjory had a manor near Leuchars in Fife.
In or before 1214 she was married to William Comyn, eldest son of Richard Comyn and his wife, Hextilda, who then became Earl of Buchan in her right and took part in the coronation of Alexander II 5 December 1214. It had been stated that Marjory was a widow when she married Comyn, but this seems to be erroneous, and the charter in which she refers to herself as a widow appears to be dated between 1233 and 1236, after Comyn’s death.
William Comyn, Earl of Buchan, had inherited his father’s estates in Scotland, and the manor of Thornton, in Tyndale, in Northumberland. In 1200 he was sent byWilliam the Lion to John, King of england, on a friendly mission after his accession to the throne.
Between 1211 and 1214, along with his wife, the Countess, he granted to the church of St. Thomas the Martyr at Arbroath the revenue of the Church of Buthelny (Old meldrum), and in 1219, he founded the Cistercian Abbey of Deer, in Buchan, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, on or near the site of the old Columban monastery.
He was Justiciar of Scotland, and in this capacity, he put down a rebellion in Moray, headed by Guthred, in 1211, and again in 1229 he crushed another rebellion in the same didtrict. He was also sheriff of Forfarshire.
In 1221, along with other nobles, he was a witness to the marriage-contract between Alexander II and the Princess Joan, sister of Henry III of England.
The Earl died in 1233, and according to tradition he was buried before the high altar of the church of the abbey of Deer, which he had founded.
Countess Marjory survived her husband; in 1236 she participated in the settlement of a dispute in the Abbot of Arbroath regarding lands in Tarves, and her son, Alexander Comyn, is styled heir of Buchan in 1242, but she died soon after, as he was Earl before August 1244.
William Comyn was twice married; the name of his first wife had not been ascertained.
By his marriage with the Countess of Buchan
he had issue:
1. Alexander, who succeeded his mother in the earldom.
2. Sir William.
3. Fergus, mentioned in the foundation charter of the Hospital of Turriff …
4. Idonea, married (before her father’s death) to Sir Gilbert Hay …
5. Elizabeth, married to William, Earl of Mar. She died in 1267.
6. Agnes, who is said to have been married to Philip Meldrum of that Ilk. She and her husband had a dispute with the monks of Arbroath in 1263.
