Provost Skene's House

This elegant 16th century town house is now an attractive period museum with elegantly furnished rooms from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. 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.

The displays include a suite of 17th century rooms, a Regency Parlour and an Edwardian Nursery, a unique series of religious paintings and the Costume Gallery features a changing programme of fashions and accessories.

The Cellar café bar, situated in the original historic kitchen, serves light snacks and refreshments and provides the perfect setting for small functions, wine and whisky tastings and buffet suppers.
