Personal Info
In 1482, had a charter by King James III under the great seal, in favour of George Meldrum (son and apparent heir of William Meldrum of Five) and Elizabeth Innes his spouse, of the lands of Petkary in the shire of Kincardine, and in 1502 there is a charter of James IV to the said George of the lands and barony of Fermartyn on the resignation of his father William Meldrum. In a letter of bailyeary of date 1508, Robert Innes is mentioned as brother-in-law of George Meldrum. This deed is signed by George Meldrum "manu propria," showing that he was an educated man, at a time when learning was not held in much esteem. George Meldrum received many charters of lands, and in 1505, he received the honour of knighthood. In a deed of warranty of that date he is styled "eques auratus." Sir George Meldrum was the only one of his family known in a public capacity, and was frequently employed in important business. In 1544, he was sent by the Governor of Scotland on an embassy to the King of England, then personally engaged in the siege of Boulogne.8
