Buchan Clan Tattoos - A name derived from the district of Buchan which comprises the north-eastern parts of Aberdeenshire and parts of Banffshire. The district may take its name from 'bwch' the Brythonic for cow. The ancient mormaership, or earldom, of Buchan passes to the Comyns, who were later deprived of it after their defeat by Robert the Bruce. Buchan was thereafter conferred on Alexander Stewart, natural son of Robert II.

The geographic name would, however, have been used by the notable inhabitants of the district, even although they may have had no provable connection with the great earls.

Black lists Ricardus de Buchan as clerk to the bishopric of Aberdeen around 1207. William de Buchan held land in Aberdeen before 1281. Sir Thomas de Boghan appears on the Ragman Roll rendering homage to Edward I of England in 1296. His lands were around Edinburgh, and his seal bears an eight rayed figure which may be the derivation of the shining sun which forms part of the chiefs crest.

Clan Buchan Motto: Non Inferiora Secutus
From Latin: Following not the inferior
