George Wishart of Drymme

George Wishart of Drymme was a Scottish landowner, lawyer, and a financial administrator for Mary, Queen of Scots.

An account made by George Wishart of the crown income (charge) and the expenditure (discharge) in 1564/5 is held by the National Records of Scotland.

George Wishart collected a few payments from his regional neighbours, including Walter Wood of Balbegno north of Brechin for lands at Fettercairn, and from Ninian Guthrie of Kingennie near Dundee, as Sheriff of Angus.

[6] The historian Gordon Donaldson highlighted payments by Wishart to household officers, including David Rizzio, who appears as "David Rischo, Italiane", and payments to the Kirk minister John Knox, as part of his stipend and also sums of money given to two of his servants, Margaret Fowlis and John Reid.

[10] Elizabeth Guthrie left a will which mentions the farmstock at Drymme with the plough oxen, work horses, and the sheep they grazed beside the Montrose Basin.
