  7th Thane of Lennox
  
  Malcolm, took the name of Drummond, or Drumman, from the lands of Drumman,
  or Drymen, in co. Dumbarton; taken prisoner at Dunbar 1296, and again in 1301."
  
  Malcolm is said to be described in a charter of 1260 as son of Malcolm Beg.
  He was the first on record to assume the surname of Drummond or Drumman,
  adapted no doubt from the lands of Drymen or Drumman in Dumbartonshire.
  He appears as a juror on an inquest before Walter Stewart, Earl of Menteith,
  on 15 May 1271, and also as a witness to charters by Malcolm, fourth Earl of
  Lennox, dated at Renfrew and Balloch in 1273 and 1274, and at later but
  uncertain dates. He was probably the Sir Malcolm Drummond who, in 1296,
  was taken at Dunbar, and apparently again taken prisoner by Sir John Segrave
  in 1301, to the great joy of King Edward I., and was warded in various
  English strongholds. In 1301, after his capture, the English King bestowed
  some of Sir Malcolm's lands on Sir John Clinton. There ia no evidence of
  hid release, and being somewhat advanced in years, he probably died a captive. [8]

  He was a man of great respectability, and had possessions' in land to an
  immense extent, which enabled him to give to his younger children
  very considerable estates in different counties.
  
  === Malcolm Drummond, at his father's death, ===
  Malcolm Drummond, at his father's death, succeeded to the family estates, as seventh chief of the house of Drummond, and thane, steward, or seneschal of Lennox. This office was now more usually expressed by the last appellation; and in a charter of Malcolm, fourth earl of Lennox, in 1260, this Malcolm Drummond is designed 'dominus de eadem,' or 'lord of that ilk,' son of Malcolm Beg Drummond, and steward or seneschal of Lennox. He is witness to several charters and donations of the same earl, from that year to 1275. He was a man of great respectability, and had possession in land to an immense extent, which enabled him to give his younger children very considerable estates in different counties. [House of Drummond p17]
  
  This Malcolm Drummond seems to be combined with Malcolm Drummond who married a daughter of Patrick Graham in 'The Scots Peerage'.
