Nestled in Aberdeenshire's captivating Buchan region, Auchmacoy unveils the intricate tapestry of Clan Buchan's history. The clan's legacy traces back to the Earldom of Buchan, passing through the hands of the Comyns before the seismic shift, catalyzed by Robert the Bruce's triumph. Auchmacoy, under Clan Buchan's influence since the 14th century, received its charter in 1503 from James IV. The historic area stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Barons who ardently supported the Stewart cause in the 17th century. Thomas Buchan, the third son of James Buchan of Auchmacoy, emerged as a notable figure, commanding Jacobite forces in the aftermath of Killiecrankie in 1689.
