Killearn (Scottish Gaelic: Cill Earnain) is a small village of approximately 1700 people in the Stirling council area of Scotland. The village is located about 18 miles (29.0 km) north of Glasgow, and 9 miles (14.5 km) away from Loch Lomond. The Glengoyne distillery is also situated just outside the village. Killearn was also the birthplace of the humanist and scholar, George Buchanan (1506-1582). Buchanan was born at The Moss, Killearn. Educated at Killearn, St. Andrews and Paris, he became a fluent linguist speaking Latin and Greek.
