2 unusual facts about William Abernethy Drummond


William Abernethy Drummond

Drummond, born in 1719 or 1720, was descended from the family of Abernethy of Saltoun in East Lothian.

Having paid his respects to Prince Charles Edward, when he held his court at Holyrood in 1745, he was afterwards exposed to much annoyance and even danger on that account, and was glad to avail himself of his medical degree, and wear for some years the usual professional costume of the Edinburgh physicians.
