The John Buchan (1875-1940) Home Page About John Buchan's Life, Career and Works John Buchan was born in Perth, the son of a Free Church of Scotland minister. Shortly after his birth, his family moved to Fife, then the Gorbals in Glasgow. He received his higher education at Glasgow University and Brasenose College, Oxford. During his studies at Oxford, he published five books and many articles. After college he pursued as successful career as a barrister, Member of Parliament, writer, soldier and publisher. His biography is chronicled, to some degree, in Memory Hold the Door, also known as Pilgrim's Way. Click here for a pointer to an article which reviews Buchan's life as one of a man of action versus a man of letters. In 1907, he married Susan Grosvenor. It was a happy marriage resulting in one daughter and three sons. He became Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield in 1935 and the thirty fifth Governor General of Canada, which position he held until his death in 1940. Clan Buchan has a long history in Scotland. I received an email lately from a lady who is working to bring together information about the Buchan clan. Her web page has much history of the Clan Buchan and is worthy of a visit.

John Buchan Buchan was born on 26th August 1875 in Perth, son of a Free Church of Scotland minister, later domiciled in Glasgow and Peebles. Like his sister Anna (1877-1948) the popular novelist "0. Douglas", he was educated at Hutcheson's Grammar School, Glasgow. At Glasgow University Buchan produced an anthology of Bacon 's essays, and a novel deriving from Conan Doyle 's recent Brigadier Gerard stories, blended with the Borders and their Covenant legends he knew so well, Sir Quixote of the moors . Thence he went to Oxford which made him take another first degree as though Glasgow could not award one. Buchan's acquiescence in this dishonour to his country of origin, and the first laurels it had given him, symbolised the dilemma of his literary life.

His devotion to Scott and Stevenson would repay itself with historical novels such as John Burnet of Barns (1898), and
