McKean's posthumous work, 'Gender Differentiation in Scottish Royal Palaces', was edited by Monique Chatenet and Krista De Jonge, and published in Le prince, la princesse et leurs logis (Paris, 2014). The paper discusses Stirling Castle and Dunfermline Palace in the times of Mary of Guise and Anne of Denmark. Following a conference held at Perth in October 2013, called "A New Platform for Scottish Renaissance Studies", an edition of the journal Architectural Heritage, no. XXVI issue 1, was dedicated to his memory. The edition was edited by Dr Sally Rush of Glasgow University. Rush was a consultant on the restoration of the palace interiors at Stirling Castle. The volume includes contributions by his colleagues, friends and students. Essays from four of his students were included, from Charles Wemyss, Michael Pearce, Kate Newland, and William Napier. Alan R. MacDonald presents McKean's drawings, and the other essays were written by architects, historians and archaeologists including Konrad Ottenheym, James Simpson, Dr Shannon Fraser, Dr Marilyn Brown, Dr Aonghus MacKechnie and Professors Richard Oram and Ian Campbell.
