SKENE, OF RUBIESLAW.

III. Caroline-Christian.

Iv. Mary-Frances.

Mr. Skene, who is a magistrate and deputy lieutenant for Aberdeenshire, succeeded his brother, 30th September, 1791.

Lineage.

The family of Skene is one of great antiquity in Aberdeenshire, where it always maintained the rank of free barons, and takes its name from the barony and castle of Skene, situate in the Earldom of Mar, and county of Aberdeen, which barony re

mained in the possession of the Skenes, of Skene, from the middle of the thirteenth century, to the year 1827, when, by the death of the last Skene, of Skene, the estates passed to his nephew and heir, the Earl of Fife.

Tradition asserts that the Skenes, of Skene, are descended from the Robertsons of Strowan, and Sir George Mackenzie gives, as early as the beginning of the seventeenth century, the following account of their origin: "Some also derive their names as well as their arms from some considerable action, and thus a second son of Struan Robertson, for killing of a wolf in Stocket forest by a durk, in the king's presence, got the name of Skene, which signifies a durk in Irish, and three durk points in pale for his arms."

"

But as the barony of Skene undoubtedly formed a portion of the extensive possessions of Allan Durward, a noble, who played a distinguished part in the reign of ALEXANDER III. and who died in the year 1275, leaving three daughters and co-heiresses, and as JOHN DE SKENE, the undoubted ancestor of this family, appears in Ragman's roll, A. D. 1296, it is most probable that he was a younger son of the chief of the Robertsons, and acquired the barony of Skene by marriage with one of the daughters of Allan Durward.

His son, ROBERT SKENE, obtained from King ROBERT I. a crown charter of the barony of Skene, dated 1st June, 1317, and in his descendants the barony remained until the end of the fifteenth century, when we find it in the possession of

ALEXANDER SKENE, of Skene, who had two sons,

ALEXANDER, from whom the Skenes, of
Skene, are descended.

SIR JOHN SKENE, second baronet of Curriehill, succeeded his father in 1633. He sold the estate of Curriehill in 1637, and having levied a regiment of men upon his own charges, he went to Germany, and died there without issue. The representation of this family then devolved upon the descendants of Gilbert Skene, younger brother of Sir John Skene, first of Curriehill. This

GILBERT SKENE was professor of medicine in King's College, Aberdeen, and afterwards physician to his majesty. He resigned this office in 1594, and retired to the small property of Pollerton, Aberdeenshire, where he died, leaving a large family by Agnes Lawson, his wife. He was succeeded by his eldest son, DAVID SKENE, of Pollerton, who married first, a daughter of William Leask, of Leask, by whom he had,
