Skene family.
James Skene (1775-1864) and his wife Jane Forbes Skene (1787-1862) resided near Aberdeen, Scotland on an estate called Rubislaw. Skene inherited the estate from his elder brother but only spent part of his time there since he traveled extensively and also lived on the European continent. From 1797 Skene was a lawyer. He was also active in literary and scientific societies and was a watercolorist. Skene and his wife befriended Sir Walter Scott and remained in close contact with him for many years.
