AUCHTERERNE

"The property of Auchtererne, afterwards called Waterearn, is in the parish of Logie Coldstone, and the Skenes seem from an early period
to have had a hereditary right to the vicarage of Logic, in connection with which they had a possession called Tullinturk, in the neighbouring parish of Kincardine O'Neill. It is extremely difficult to trace a connected pedigree of this family.

In 1443 we find Robertus Skene, vicarius de Logymar; and, again, a hundred years later, we have in 1551 Mr. Robert Skene, vicar of Logy;
and, in 1555, he appears as Mr. Robert Skene in Tullinturk. In the register of the Privy Seal we find
'Preceptum legitimationis Jacobi Skeyne, Arthuri Skeyne, Johannis Skeyne, Roberti Skeyne et Gilberti Skeyne bastardorum filiorum Magistri Roberti Skeyne, vicarii de Logymar in communi forma apud Edinr. penult die mensis Februarii, 1553.' "
