Episcopal Chapel, Carrubber’s Close. Having remained here for 
six years, he became joint-minister of Trinity Chapel, Dean Bridge, 
along with the late Mr Coventry, where he laboured with much 
acceptability, until his connection with the Scottish Episcopal 
Church was severed in 1842. He then became incumbent of St 
Thomas’s English Episcopal Chapel, and remained in the spiritual 
oversight of the congregation there for upwards of thirty years. 
During the long period of his ministry in Edinburgh, Mr Drum- 
mond endeared himself to his congregation, both by his public and 
private ministrations. With the ministers of other denominations 
he was always on the most cordial and friendly terms, and no good 
work, having for its object the religious or moral improvement of 
the people, ever failed to elicit his co-operation and sympathy. By 
the general public he was long known at once as the zealous advo- 
cate and upholder of English Episcopalianism in Scotland, and as 
an active and valued friend of evangelical movements. His writings, 
also, although not extensive, served to bring his name before a 
considerable section of the community. The most noteworthy of 
these were, a series of Lectures on the 17th Chapter of St John’s 
Gospel, a Life of Montague Stanley, and Scenes and Impressions in 
Switzerland and the North of Italy. 
Mr Drummond became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1868. 
He was fond of intercourse with the lovers of literature and science, 
and took much pleasure in the study of natural science, especially 
during his residence in the country, and his visits to the Continent 
of Europe. He was also an excellent photographer, and executed 
some fine views of Scottish scenery. 
Mr Drummond, who was not a man of a strong constitution, 
resigned his charge with advancing years, in the autumn of 1875, 
and only a short time ago he changed his residence from Edinburgh 
to Pitlochry. He was in his usual spirits on Friday, 8th June, 
and went to bed in apparently good health. Early on the morning 
of the 9th, he was seized with sudden illness, and died in a few 
minutes, leaving a widow and a widowed only daughter to mourn 
his loss. 
He was buried in the churchyard overlooking the picturesque 
loch at Duddingstone, in the grave where he had laid his only son 
forty years before. The service was read by Bishop Beckles, assisted
