Fodor's Expert Review Provost Skene's House
Aberdeen
Notable Building
Built in 1545, this dignified medieval building is the oldest of Aberdeen's historic townhouses. Home to wealthy merchant and Provost (mayor) of Aberdeen, Sir George Skene from 1676 to 1685, it reopened after a lengthy refurbishment in 2021 as the city's newest attraction. Inside, the Hall of Heroes celebrates the achievements of local figures including artists, musicians, writers, and sporting legends.
