though included in the bill of attainder which passed
4th June 1746. He was succeeded by his son James.
V. JAMES DRUMMOND,
MASTER OF STRATHALLAN,
Died 21«t June 1765.
James, master of Strathallan, had engaged in the same
rebellion with his father, but surviving the battle of Cul-
loden, made his escape to France. He was included in
the act of attainder with his father, under the denomina-
tion of James Druramond, his heir apparent, eldest son
of William, viscount of Strathallan. But as he was at
that time truly viscount of Strathallan himself, it was
thought that this misnomer would have justified the
claim afterwards made by his son, for the honours of
Strathallan and Madderty. This claim, however, was
not sustained by the house of peers in 1790, who, on
the 12th May, by the unanimous opinion of the judges,
found that Viscount Strathallan was attainted by the act
19th Geo. II. Of course, these honours continue dor-
mant. He married Euphemia, daughter of Peter Gor-
don, Esq. of Abergeldie, by whom he had five sons and
four daughters.
