Posted by Asad Hasnain on July 29th, 2022

In Gaelic, the Skene clan is known as Siol Sgeine or Clann Donnachaidh Mhar. The traditional origin of the name can be traced in a Robertson tale from the eleventh century. A younger son of Robertson of Struan is supposed to have saved the king's life by slaying a fierce wolf with only a tiny knife or'sgian.' He was honoured for his good conduct with a gift of lands in Aberdeenshire called after the sword that had given him great prosperity.

Clan Castle And Seat

Skene Castle served as the residence of Clan Skene leaders until the main line died out in 1827, when it went to the Earl of Fife. Skene is supposed to be an extraordinarily early sept of Clan Donnachaidh, dating back before it took the name Robertson.

Clan Chief

On February 17, 1994, the Lord Lyon King of Arms recognised Danus George Moncrieff Skene of Skene as Chief of the Name and Arms of Skene. His son, Dugald, was also recognised in the matriculation as the heir presumptive. Danus Skene had matriculated his arms in 1992 as Skene of Halyards. In 1672, John Skene of Halyards matriculated his arms in the Lord Lyon's book, establishing that he was derived from chief James Skene of that Ilk, who died around 1604. Danus Skene contended in his appeal to Lord Lyon that when Alexander Skene died in 1827 with no male issue, the succession went to the next most senior family, the Skenes of Halyards.

Clan Septs

Clan Skene septs include Cariston, Dyce, Hallyard, and Carnie.

Is Clan Skene Scottish or Irish?

Clan Skene is a clan in Scotland. Three clan leaders were killed on the battlefields of Harlaw, Flodden, and Pinkie, hence the clan Skene does not have a good track record in warfare. The Skenes' tragic history culminated in 1827, when the direct line of Skenes of Skene died out. All of the family's properties were eventually handed to a nephew, the Earl of Fife, whose family still owns them now.
