John Drummond, styled first earl of Melfort and Jacobite first duke of Melfort (1649-1714), politician. Appointed a secretary for Scotland (where he was given estates) in 1684, Melfort's close association with James II led to him becoming the king's principal secretary of state and accompanying him to Ireland following the invasion of William of Orange in 1688. He was then sent to Rome as an ambassador to try and secure the support of the papacy for a Jacobite invasion, although his position was undermined by the Abbé Renaudot, an agent used by the French, whose intrigues led to Louis XIV asking James II to dismiss Melfort. Watercolour after a portrait by Kneller, by George Perfect Harding (1779/80-1853), miniature painter. Harding devoted himself to producing minute copies in watercolour of works of historical and antiquarian interest. Examples of his work are in several major British institutions.

Two scenes from an edition of the diary of Robert Drury (1687- between 1743-50), an English sailor who was shipwrecked aged seventeen on Madagascar in 1701, spending the next fifteen years as a slave of a native king. Rer Ambarroch was a local prince whose family Drury captures for his master. Drury escaped and arrived back in London in 1717, after which he became a slave trader, pirate and, finally, a porter at East India House. His account was first published in 1729, probably ghost-written by Daniel Defoe. Although some detail is cribbed from Etienne de Flacourt' History of Madagascar (1658) there is enough to convince modern scholars that much is first hand.

Like Melrose, however, it was several times plundered by invading English troops, and after complete destruction in 1544, it was never rebuilt. The Abbey lands changed hands, and in 1700 belonged to forebears of Sir Walter Scott. Later, however, the Scott family had only the right to "stretch their bones" in the Abbey. The north transept contains the graves of Scott, his wife and family, and his son-in-law and biographer, J.G. Lockhart. Here too is the grave of Earl Haig, the hero of the 1914-1918 war. On the hillside behind the Abbey is a large statue of Wallace, erected by David, Earl of Buchan. The ruins of the Abbey and their lovely surroundings were presented to the nation in 1918 by Lord Glenconner.]
