Statement of Interest

Items 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19 belong to the

18th century town before it was superseded by Inverurie as

the more important town in the neighbourhood as a result of

first the canal and later the railway.

The charter of Old Meldrum as a Burgh of Barony dates from

1672 but the foundation of the village was considerably

earlier, c. 1634.

In the 1690's Old Meldrum contained 16 merchants while Inverurie

had only four and Insch and Kintore one each. Old Meldrum was

then entered by the Mill Road from the South and the Cowgate

from the north. The Market Square was larger then than now, a

row of houses and shops being built on the north side early in

the 19th century.
