The house is named after Provost George Skene, a wealthy merchant who lived there in the 17th century, a time when Aberdeen was emerging as a flourishing trading port. Provost Skene's House is now an attractive period museum with elegantly furnished rooms from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Don't miss the costume gallery with its monthly exhibitions of fashion through the ages, or the temporary exhibitions of Aberdeens social history in the attic. Truly a jewel in the heart of the city, there is something for everyone at Provost Skene's House.
