“Your Playing Small Does Not Serve the World"
Norman Drummond has often been described as “one of the most talented and inspiring Scots of this generation.” His life and career have taken him from the gangland of Glasgow and Edinburgh as a Minister, to The Parachute Regiment and The Black Watch, to the position of Headmaster of Loretto and BBC Governor and Founder of Drummond International, Columba 1400. Norman’s life has represented a commitment to looking for the best in others and to encouraging them to see that unrealised potential in and for themselves.
