Meldrum monument: inscription
On polished Portsoy marble: Hic jacet reverendus et pius defunctus D. Georgius Meldrum de Crombie, quondam de Glass, praeco fidelissimus, qui officio pastorali, dum ferebant tempora, diligenter functus erat. Dives enim fuit non avarus, lucri gratia conscientiam violare noluit, pacifice et sobrie vixit, et hinc migravit anno Dom. 1692, aetatis suae 76 [Here lies the late reverend and pious Mr George Meldrum of Crombie, sometime of Glass, a faithful preacher, who, while the times permitted, diligently discharged the duties of his pastoral office. Not being avaricious, he was rich, and would not do violence to his conscience for the sake of gain; he lived peaceably and soberly, and departed hence A.D. 1692, in the 76th year of his age.]
