Fletcher Buchanan (23 December 1889 – 24 May 1960) was a Scotland international rugby union player.
[3] After studying at Oxford, he returned to Glasgow and played for Kelvinside Academicals once more.
The Scottish Referee, 20 November 1911, said this of Buchanan:[4] one of the best three-quarters who played for Oxford last season has improved since he returned to the land of his birth, but it is a fact, and to-day the Kelvinside captain is one of the finest players behind the scrummage we have in Scotland.
His displays in recent matches have shattered the opinion that he was only a fair weather sailor.
He is more than that; he is a most excellent defensive player, besides being an aggressive artist of the premier type - Buchanan is a great exponent of the carrying game, and we hope this season to find him adorned with that emblem which only falls to the lot of a selected few.
