WilliamDrummond (December 13, 1585–December 4, 1649), called "of Hawthornden" Scottish poet, was born at Hawthornden, Midlothian.
Drummond received his early education at the high school of Edinburgh, and graduated in July 1605 as M.A. of the recently founded University of Edinburgh.
Drummond spent two years at Bourges and Paris in the study of law; and, in 1609, he was again in Scotland, where, by the death of his father in the following year, he became laird of Hawthornden at the early age of twenty-four.
