Club History

The Interim Rotary Club of Westhill & District held it’s Inaugural Meeting and Dinner on the 15^th March, 1984. Our Charter was presented by the then District Governor George B. Cram of the Rotary Club of Dundee at the Charter Dinner in May, 1984.

Our ‘Mother Club’ was the Rotary Club of Aberdeen.

There were 35 founder members when it was founded and today, at least half of them remain as active members. Bill Leslie, a Past District Governor of District 1010, was our Founder President.

The club’s territory includes the Parishes of Skene and Kinellar in the County of Aberdeenshire, but that does not prevent anyone living or working outside these areas from being a member of our club.

Our Symbol

The symbol of our Club depicts an interesting event in the history of Westhill and District. This event resulted in the Lands of Skene being bestowed by Malcolm Canmore on a follower who saved his life while they were hunting in the Forest of the Stocket. The man, a son it was said of the Laird of Straun, killed a wolf which had attacked the King. As he slew it with his ‘skian’ so the name Skene was derived. He was offered the choice of the land covered by a hound’s chase or a hawk’s flight, and chose the latter.
