Master of the Royal Scottish Corporation (1722-1723), to which he donated £35 15s.
Apprenticed to Colin McKenzie, a goldsmith in Edinburgh. Recorded as being in London by 1712 in Charing Cross. In addition to goldsmith work, began to offer banking services (1717). Business came to abrupt halt in 1745 (with popular tradition speculating that Drummond was accused of Jacobite sympathies). Banking business resumed in 1760 and was able to bring son into partnership, in addition to nephews working from him. Purchased Stanmore House in Middlesex where he died in 1769.
