John Drummond (died 1752),[1] 10th of Lennoch and 3rd of Megginch Castle in Perthshire, was a Scottish Member of Parliament. He was the oldest son of Adam Drummond of Megginch (1649-1709), 9th of Lennoch and his wife Alison, daughter of John Hay of Haystoun. His father was a member of the Scottish Parliament and a member of the Privy Council of Scotland. His brother Adam Drummond (1679-1758) a surgeon-apothecary in Edinburgh became (jointly) the first Professor of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh. CareerAt the 1727 general election he was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Perthshire, defeating the sitting MP Mungo Haldane.[3] The election was closely fought, and was decided by a circle centred on Robert Craigie, who chose Drummond, the favoured candidate of the 2nd Duke of Atholl. Drummond voted infrequently in the House of Commons, and retired from Parliament at the 1734 election. Personal lifeIn 1712 he married Bethia Murray, daughter of James Murray of Deucar. They had five sons and one daughter:[2]
His nickname was "Sir Francis Wronghead", after a character in the play The Provoked Husband.
