João Escoto or João Drummond or João Escórcio is probably - genealogically speaking - the most famous man from Madeira. In Madeira he is probably one of the most famous Madeirans. He has descendants in Açores, of course. And everywhere. He is known, remembered and honoured in Scotland, nowadays. In Scotland they have kept strongly this clan philosophy. Even today people like the Sinclair (quite popular today because of the Da Vinci Code) pride themselves in being related to João Escoto, and they treasure as co clan fellows the João Escoto descendants. People like Jim Sinclair, from Scotland, who is an historian and genealogist have written about João Escoto quite recently, and have discovered some stuff about him in old scottish documents. For Jim Sinclair (who is also the descendant of the man who built the famous Rosslyn Chapel, in Scotland, a bizarre and intriguing jewel of architecture) there is no doubt that João Escoto or João Drummond from madeira was a scion of the Drummonds. Gang warily!
