Buchan
Buchan comprises a traditional area and earldom of north-eastern Scotland. It is also the name of an administrative area of modern Aberdeenshire.
The earldom of Mar and Buchan formed one of the seven original Scottish earldoms; later Buchan became separated from Mar.
The modern administrative area has a population of 39,160 (2001 census) and an area of 547 km2. It contains the town of Peterhead and is adjacent to the administrative area of Banff and Buchan. RAF Buchan, a radar station, is in the area.
