Edward Leithen
Sir Edward Leithen is a fictional character in several of John Buchan's novels: ''The Power-House'', ''John Macnab'', ''The Dancing Floor'', ''The Gap in the Curtain'' and ''Sick Heart River''. These were published over a number of years, the first in 1916 (although "The Power House" was originally published in a magazine in 1913), and the last in 1941, one year after Buchan's death. Leithen's name is borrowed from the Leithen Water, a tributary of the River Tweed, one of many references to the Scottish Borders in Buchan's novels.
He also appears in ''The Return of John MacNab'' by Andrew Greig in a 1990s retelling of ''John Macnab''.
==Career==
In the books, Leithen is a Scottish barrister and a Tory politician (and MP) and, at one point, an Attorney General. He is also described as an excellent fly fisherman (which forms an important part of ''John MacNab''.).
He served in the army during World War I.
