On 17th September 1549, "Magister Willelmus Skene" entered King's College as a student in theology, and in the same year he is ordered by the bishop to be ready to take Priests Orders, at Easter, 1550, to take Minor Orders between this and the Feast of All Saints, the Subdiaconate at Christmas, and the Diaconate and Presbyterate, between that date and the said Easter. In 1556 "Magister Gulielmus Skene in utroque jure licentiatus" is incorporated in St. Mary's College, St. Andrews. In 1563 he became one of the Visitors of St. Salvator's College.
