Question: Is Clan Skene Scottish or Irish?

Answer:

 

 

Motto: Virtutis regia merces (A palace the reward of bravery)

Region: Lowlands Scotland

Lands: Skene, Aberdeenshire

Clan Chief: Dugald Skene of Skene

Gaelic Name: MacSgian

Clan Crest Description: Proper, a dexter arm coming from the shoulder out of a cloud, bearing out a triumphal crown in the hand.

 

Clan Skene is a Scottish Clan. 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. 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. 

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.

As a result of their ownership of this land, the family got their name. This story is preserved on the Skene chief's shield, which depicts three wolves' heads impaled on daggers or 'durks.'The first recorded bearer of the name Skene is John de Skeen, who lived during the reign of Malcolm III.

Clan Septs

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

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.

 

Question: What is the colour pattern of Skene Tartan?

Answer:

Skene Tartan is distinguished by dark green, sky blue, and red lines. The beginnings of the clan Skene are recorded in an 11th century story from the clan of Robertson. It is said that the younger son of Struan's Robertson chief saved the King's life by slaying a ferocious Wolf with just his Sgian-dubh.
