Provost Skene's House

About

Provost Skene's House is a house in Aberdeen, built in 1545 and now housing a museum. It is named after Sir George Skene (1619–1708) who served as provost of the city of Aberdeen from 1676 to 1685. Skene bought the house in 1669 and is thought to have commissioned its 17th-century plaster ceilings. It lies in central Aberdeen, midway between the Kirk of St Nicholas and Marischal College.
