Clan Meldrum

Mens Immota Manet (The mind remains)

The Meldrums are an Aberdeenshire family: COSCA records their lands as Aberdeenshire and their motto as "Mens Immota Manet" ("The Mind Remains"). Fyvie Castle passed through the Preston and Meldrum families before Alexander Seton bought it in 1596; the Meldrums enlarged it between 1440 and 1500, and their tower there is still called the Meldrum Tower. Meldrum House, in the parish of Meldrum near Oldmeldrum, was reconstructed by Archibald Simpson in about 1836-39. No Meldrum chief is listed by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, and COSCA's clan record leaves its "Clan Chief or Commander" field blank.
