The Governor General met with Lord William de l’Aigle Buchan, 4th Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield, descendant of John Buchan, 1st Baron of Tweedsmuir of Elsfield, who was the 15th governor general of Canada, from 1935 to 1940. Lord Tweedsmuir was a prolific writer who published more than 100 works in his lifetime, including popular spy thrillers of the time, such as The Thirty-Nine Steps and Greenmantle. He initiated the Governor General’s Literary Awards which just celebrated their 75th anniversary. Lord William de l’Aigle Buchan is one of the grandchildren of the former governor general.
