Born in England, he represented the Scotland U21 national team. He is the son of former Manchester United and Scotland player Martin Buchan.

Early life

Buchan was the fourth member of his family to play senior football, following his grandfather Martin (Aberdeen and Dundee United), his father Martin (Aberdeen, Manchester United and Scotland) and his uncle George (Aberdeen and Manchester United). He was born in Manchester during his father's playing career there.

Club career

Buchan started his career with Aberdeen, from whom he spent a short spell on loan at Stonehaven prior to making his first team debut. He spent five years with Aberdeen before joining Dundee United on a free transfer in 2000. After two seasons, Buchan moved to Partick Thistle in 2002. A period out of football followed due to red tape before his move to Peterhead in 2004. He left Peterhead for Montrose in January 2008. Buchan joined Highland League club Cove Rangers in 2009.

Although born in England, Buchan was qualified to represent Scotland by being of Scottish parentage. He made thirteen appearances for the Scotland under-21 national team between 1997 and 1999.
