The accompanying text in 'The Clans of the Scottish Highlands' by James Logan begins as follows:
"NA DRUIMAINICH - THE CLAN DRUMMOND
The genealogical account of the family informs us that their ancestor 'is said to have been Maurice, a Hungarian, who accompanied Edgar Atheling and his sister Margaret into Scotland, and obtained from Malcolm III the lands of Drymen, in Stirlingshire, which gave name to his posterity.' For this we suspect there is no sufficient proof: the greater probability is that those inhabiting a ridge, or high ground, as Druiman signifies, would, by Celtic usage, be designated from the locality; in fact, there is a current tradition that they are sprung from one Doncha' Druimanach, about 1060. Of this family was 'Gilbert de Dromund, del counte de Dunbretttan,' who swore fealty to King Edward I in 1296, and this designation, which was applied as surname to his successors, is evidence of the correctness of our etymology."
