Sir William, Master of Drummond. He first ppears on record as a witness to a charter by Gilbert Scot of Monzie of 16 August 1488.
He had, along with his wife, Marjory, a charter of the lands of Colacht and others in Menteith, 14 June 1493; and another along with his wife, Mariota Forrester of the same lands 27 March 1502-3.
He had a quarrel with the Murrays in connection with estimating the teinds of the Drummond lands in Monzievaird on behalf of the abbots of Inchaffray. Going along with Duncan Campbell of Dunstaffnage, who had an account of his own to settle with them to oppose the Murrays, the latter retired to the church of Monzievaird. The Drummonds, satisfied with this, were marching off, when a shot from the church killed on of the Dunstaffnage men, whereupon they returned, set fire to the church, and burned about a score of persons, including seven Murrays. The chief offenders were brought to trial on 21 october 1490, and some of the most guilty of them executed.
It is generally been said that William, Master of Drummond, shared this fate. But it is clearly proved by the charter to Sir William Drummond, 'son and heir-apparent of John, Lord drummond,' of 21 March 1502-3, above mentioned, that he was alive long after his supposed execution. It is more probable that Pitscottie is perfectly correct when he says that it was David Drummond who met this fate, a younger son of Lord Drummond.
The Master of Drummond died between July 1503 and July 1504.
(1) He is said to have married, first, Isobel Campbell, second daughter of Colin, first Earl of Argyll, in implement of an agreement between the parents of the parties that the eldest Drummond son should marry the eldest daughter of the Earl. The eldest son having died young, William accordingly took his place. Isobel Campbell's name, however, does not occur on record as Sir William Drummond's wife.
If the marriage took place she must have died before 1493, when, as above stated, he got a charter of lands along with a lady whose Christian name was Marjory. It is possible that Marjory is only another form of the Christian name of Mariota Forrester, with whom he got a confirmation of the same lands on 21 March 1502-03. She was a daughter of Archibald Forrester of Corstorphine, and after the death of the Master, she was married, secondly, before 1507-08, to Sir James Sandilands of Calder.
The Master of Drummond had issue by his wives:
1. Walter. He died in 1518, in the lifetime of his grandfather and was buried at Innerpeffray. …
2. Andrew of Ballyclone, who appears as a substitute in an entail by his nephew …
3. John, only son by Mariota Forrester. He succeeded, along with his mother, to his father's holdings …
4. Possibly Henry, who is styled nepos [grandson] of Lord Drummond in a charter …
