In 1901 he became a barrister of the Middle Temple and a private secretary to the High Commissioner for South Africa.

After spells as a war correspondent, Lloyd George's Director of Information and Conservative MP, Buchan moved to Canada in 1935. He served as Governor General there until his death in 1940.
