An Old Family Society.
The Buchanan society, as the
name denotes, is composed of indi-
viduals of the name and clan OF
Buchanan and is the Oldest named So
oiety in Scotland. 1t was instituted
in Glasgow SO far back as 1925. at
friendly meeting of some of the
name of Buchanan held there on
March of that year the following
proposal was made:
THAT the name of Buchanan, be-
ing now the most numerous name
in the place, and many poor boys of
that name, who are found to be Of
good genius, being lost for want of
good education, a fund might be be-
gun and carried on by the name,
the interest of which in time might
enable some of them to be useful in
church and state.
This society has since gone on
with almost uninterrupted success.
1t has attained position of high
Importance and is of great practical
use.-Notes and Queries.
