Skene Heritage Society was formed towards the end of 2001. Following its winding up in August 2019 this new group was set up to carry on its area of interest in a more informal way and to enable those interested in the history of the area to meet and chat about relevant topics. The area covered is primarily the parish of Skene including Kirkton of Skene, Garlogie, Lyne of Skene, Elrick and the growth and development of Westhill.
