Life
Born William Abernethy in 1719 or 1720, he was descended from the family of Abernethy of Saltoun in East Lothian and from William Drummond of Hawthornden.
He at first studied medicine, and took the degree of M.D., but was subsequently for many years minister of an Episcopalian church in Edinburgh. In Edinburgh he lived in the former house of Cardinal Beaton on the Cowgate.
