to the Gordons and their heirs. When Vrrie returned to Inverness, Captain Drum-
mond was accused to have betrayed the armie. He confessed that he hade spoken
with the eneraie after the word and sign of- battle was given; whereupon he was
adjudged by a Councell of Warre to be shot to death, which was done." (Geneal.

Page 129. — Drummonds of Pitcairnes. Janet Crichton, spouse of Hary Drummond
of Riccarton, was infeft in the mill lands of Pitcairns in liferent, January 28, 1544.
She is mentioned as his relict in the Records of the Sheriff-Court of Perth, March 3,
1570. William, his son, fiar of Pitcairns, is mentioned January 20, 1570; and Jean
Hepburn Lady Riccarton March 14, 1574. Hary Drummond of Pitcairns had a son

On April 15, 1644, " The Convention of Estates ordaines and commands Harie Drum-
mond, Rootmaister, to marche with all expedition with his troop from Perth to Dum-

Page 141, line 11. — One of the earliest authors of the name, of whom we have any
notice, was a Jonas Drummond, settled probably as a physician in England, during
the first half of the l6th century. He published a little tract under this title : —
"j^ere is a §,tia bake, calleb the Defence of &t$e, ano 3&ecober2 of goutfr, translated out
of the famous dlatfce anb rfrjljt eipette mrbgcgne Srnolb be $oba g ilia, berg urofgtable

Dowglas, Nice vnto the most noble and crysten Prynce Henry the VIII., King of
Englande and of France, Defender of the Fayth, and under God the Supreme Heid
of the Churche of Englande ; Syster vnto the moste noble and chrysten Prynce James

The translator says, " Sorry am I to offer vnto your noble and vertuous Ladyship so
small a boke, were it not so that I am purposed to recomper" r Jur Ladyship with a
greater, so that this may favourably be receyued." Whether this intention was ever
fulfilled is uncertain. It * as no date, but was undoubtedly printed in the reign of

contains the notice that it was " Imprinted -by me Robert Wyer, dwellynge in Saynt
