Coat of arms at the top of the monument (see: Link ). Meldrum of Laithers (Quarterly, 1st and 4th, argent a demi otter issuing out of a bar wavy sable; 2nd and 3rd, argent three unicorns' heads erased sable) impaling Duff of Braco (Vert a fess dancettee ermine between a buck's head cabossed in chief and two escallops in base or). The arms commemorate the marriage of Rev. George Meldrum to his cousin, Jean Duff, in 1680: Jean bore three daughters. They are getting worn after 320 years in the open, but are still just about visible.
