Dunfermline Abbey and Palace

Introduction

One of Scotland's most impressive medieval interiors and most important royal sites, founded as a priory in about 1080.

Robert the Bruce was buried in the medieval choir, now beneath the Abbey church of 1821. St Margaret and David I are among a number of monarchs and other royalty laid to rest here. Charles I was born in the palace that grew up alongside the abbey.
