James Drummond (bishop)

James Drummond (bishop)

James Drummond (died 1695) was a seventeenth-century Church of Scotland prelate. The son of James Drummond, minister of Foulis in Strathearn, he began his church career as minister of Muthill (Strathearn), before becoming parson of Auchterarder.

When in December 1684, the Bishop of Brechin Alexander Cairncross became Archbishop of Glasgow, Drummond was appointed his successor at Brechin, receiving Consecration on December 6 1684. Drummond was said to owe his promotion to James Drummond, Earl of Perth, then Chancellor of Scotland

Bishop Drummond, like all Scottish bishops, lost his see after the revolution of 1688. Afterwards, he spent much time in the household of the Earl of Erroll. He died in 1695, at the age of sixty-six.
