James Drummond was covenanting field preacher who was sentenced to imprisonment on the Bass Rock.[1] At his time of incarceration his occupation was listed as Chaplain to Margaret Marchioness of Argyll.[2]
He was first jailed in the tolbooth in Edinburgh in 1674, when he was arrested and locked up for preaching in families.[3] For a covenanter he only stayed in prison a short time since he confessed the charge brought against him, and assured the Committee that he would not keep any conventicles in future. He was given a conditional discharge on July 21, 1674, and set free.
He was rearrested in Glasgow and summoned to appear before a Council in Edinburgh. This time he refused to swear to avoid conventicles and but therefore jailed in the Bass from 28th January 1677 until 5th October 1677 when he was given a conditional release to proceed to Kilmarnock and afterwards to Kintyre. He attended the General Meeting of Presbyterian ministers after the Toleration 6th July 1687.
After the Glorious Revolution he began preaching in Kilconquhar, Fife towards the end of March 1691. On 25 June 1691 he was called to be the minister there where he continued until his death on 29 September 1699.[4]
Family Life
He married Mary Montgomery, who survived him, and had children — Mary, and others.[5][6]
