1f) [by 1^st m.] a son, who, according to some sources, went to Scotland in 1055 and became ancestor of the Drummond family. E.S. cites a 1959 work published in Warsaw as the source for this.

However, the sources I have do not supply lineage for the Drummonds prior to Malcolm Beg Drummond, living early 1200s.
