Dunfermline Abbey Scotland

Dunfermline Abbey was a large Benedictine abbey in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. It was administered by the Abbot of Dunfermline. The abbey was founded in 1128 by King David I of Scotland, but the monastic establishment was based on an earlier foundation dating back to the reign of Malcolm Canmore. Dunfermline became a center for the well-promoted cult of St Margaret. Robert the Bruce was buried in the choir, now the site of the present parish church. Tour Scotland.
