ken prisoner, and kept in Edinburgh Castle from February to
September, 1746; his son James, who had attended his father at
Culloden, suffered attainder, and for many years the title was
withheld. There was more caution in the character of Andrew Drummond,
brother to the fourth Viscount, who founded the Charing Cross Bank in
London. He lent large sums to the Government; but his family connexion
brought him under a suspicion of double dealing, which Sir Robert
Walpole was inclined to believe. Learning, however, that the suspicion
was unfounded, Sir Robert sought to conciliate the Drummond by warmly
offering to shake hands with him when they encountered one day in the
King's drawing-room. But Mr Andrew, proof against blandishment no less
than against suspicion, met the advance by holding his hands behind his
back. The ancestral spirit shone again in Andrew John Drummond, who
should have been seventh Viscount. He died in 1812, a General in the
British Army. The forfeited title was restored in 1824 to his cousin,
James Drummond, Esq.

THE ABBEY OF INCHAFFRAY

By Rev. JAMES BROWN, M.A., Maderty

To those who appreciate time and labour expended upon historical and
antiquarian research, there can be few--if, indeed, there be any--among
our Scottish counties which present scope for their enthusiasm so
extensive and so varied as that contained within the borders of
Perthshire. Generally speaking, the attractions identify themselves.
The Cathedral at Dunblane, the Round Tower at Abernethy, the Camp at
Ardoch--these preserve still many of their original features and
characteristic lineaments, and need hardly fail to arrest attention. But
