These fifteen carefully researched stories reveal how individual Buchanans served kings, challenged powerful churchmen, defended Scotland and sometimes found themselves on opposing sides of the same national struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the disputed story of Sir Alexander Buchanan at the Battle of Baugé, examine the clan’s losses at Flodden and Pinkie Cleugh, and enter the dangerous world of George Buchanan as he confronted Cardinal Beaton and helped build the case against Mary, Queen of Scots. Later chapters trace Buchanan involvement in the Battle of Glen Fruin, the Bishops’ Wars, Montrose’s campaigns, Dunbar, Inverkeithing and the Jacobite Rising of 1745.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a collection of romantic legends presented as unquestioned fact. The book carefully separates documented history from later clan tradition, explains where the evidence is uncertain and shows how political loyalties differed among Buchanan families and individuals. The result is a balanced and engaging account of courage, ambition, defeat, imprisonment and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInside This Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Buchanan connection to Loch Lomond and the Lennox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe legendary exploits of Sir Alexander Buchanan in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClan losses at Flodden and Pinkie Cleugh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Buchanan’s battles with church and royal authority\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuchanan participation at Langside and Glen Fruin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSir George Buchanan’s service in the Covenanting armies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe battles of Auldearn, Dunbar and Inverkeithing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrancis Buchanan and the Jacobite Rising of 1745\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe disputed capture of the Marquess of Tullibardine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for Buchanan descendants, Scottish history readers, genealogists and anyone fascinated by the conflicts that shaped Scotland, this book offers a deeper look beyond the crest and tartan.
