Research Notes

Clan Drummond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Traditional origins. West of Stirling is the parish of Drymen and its name appears to have been derived from the Scottish Gaelic, dromainn which means a ridge or high ground.[4] There is a traditional legend that states that the first nobleman to settle in Drymen was a Hungarian Prince called George who accompanied Edgar Ætheling, an Anglo-Saxon Prince, on his escape from William the Conqueror and the Norman conquest of England.[4] These royal fugitives were warmly welcomed by Malcolm III of Scotland, who married one of the royal sisters, Margaret, later Saint Margaret of Scotland.
