Newspaper Article
Obituary: Lord Perth
2002
Overview
Government minister, banker, art connoisseur, bibliophile and heritage protector [John David Drummond], the 17th Earl of Perth, who has died at 95, was a multitalented, civilising Scottish aristocrat. Perth was ideally suited for the post during the \"winds of change\" period of decolonisation, finding directions towards independence. His opponents were imperial Tories on the government's benches and white supremacists in African-majority African countries. Perth also had difficulty with some nationalists, such as Malta's Dom Mintoff. After the war he was back at Schroders. In 1951, his father died, and Drummond became the 17th Earl of Perth.
