First settled in Berwickshire, the Milnes moved further north, to Aberdeenshire, in the early fourteenth century.
• It was here that they and their namesakes the Mylnes became established and, as kinsfolk of Clan Gordon, often found themselves on the field of battle - but it was as masons and architects that they earned enduring fame, while others have distinguished themselves through a range of other pursuits.
• In the creative world of literature, Alan Alexander Milne, born in 1882 in Kilburn, London was the author best known as A.A. Milne, creator of the Winnie-the-Pooh books and numerous children’s poems.
