The otter wearing the crown represents the Meldrum family. Today this is remembered in the street name Otter Avenue. Meldrum Primary School pupils were responsible for naming the street. They have an otter on their school badge.The road leading out of Oldmeldrum in the direction of Meldrum House is called Urquhart Road.
Greyhound Drive is another street name, which was inspired by the coat of arms. Meldrum Primary School pupils wanted to see the broken legs of the greyhound mended and as they couldn’t make this happen they submitted a request to the Council that a street be named after them.
