John Buchan (aka: Baron Tweedsmuir) was born in Perth, Scotland in 1874 and was the oldest son of Rev. John Buchan and Helen Buchan. He studied at the University of Glasgow and Brasenose College, Oxford. He was a Scottish diplomat, barrister, journalist, historian, poet and novelist. He wrote adventure novels, short-story collections and biographies. His passion for the Scottish countryside is reflected in much of his writing.

John Buchan Books John Buchan (1875-1940) But Buchan's health problems didn't deter him from enjoying the outdoor life throughout his career he enthusiastic participated in mountain climbing, stalking and fishing. He was also intensely interested in exploration of the remaining unknown areas of the world and wrote about all of these in both his fictional and nonfictional works. His love of the outdoors was fostered as a result of spending his youthful summer holidays in upper Tweedsdale area where his matemal grandparents lived. The title he choose when he was made a peer before going to Canada was clearly a result of his identification with this area. AIthough he complained about the time wasted in 'going out', he didn't neglect the social side of things and, in particular, he enjoyed the clubs of London, country-house weekends and Highland hunting lodges, all of which feature in his writings. At age thirty-two he married Susan Grosvenor whose father Norman was rich and well connected. Their marriage was an especially happy one and they raised three sons and a daughter. After WW I, they bought Elsfield Manor, an estate outside Oxford in the Cotswold country and this became the source of another enthusiasm and the need for more writing to pay for it.
