Biography

Walter was born in 1420. Walter Buchanan ... He passed away in 1476. ^[1]

His mother was JANET LENNY. His father, Sir John died before his father Walter, and left issue." ^[2]

"Sir John, 12th laird of Buchanan and Lenny had three sons, who came to age; the eldest Sir Alexander, who killed the duke of Clarence at the battle of Bauge, was also himself afterwards killed at the battle of Vernoil, anno 1424, being never married.^[3]

The second was Sir Walter, who succeeded to the estate of Buchanan; and the third John, during his father's lifetime, designated of Ballachondachy, and who did, after his father's death, succeed to the estate of Lenny, as the tree of Buchanan, and some other evidents among those of Buchanan testify, as shall be in due place observed. I will elsewhere briefly recount some of the heroic achievements of that gallant gentleman, Sir Alexander, eldest son to John laird of Buchanan, who acquired an addition to the armorial bearing, and a much greater to the honor of his family; and will endeavor to remove some little mistake our historians are in concerning his surname, and meanwhile proceed to the account of;

Sir Walter, third of that name, and thirteenth laird of Buchanan, who upon the death of Sir Alexander, succeeded to his father John, laird of Buchanan and Lenny." ^[4]
