Dunfermline Abbey and Palace

Located in a spectacular position overlooking Tower Glen and Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline Abbey boasts an unusual history. Site of a Benedictine monastery in the 11th century, the grounds once included extensive monastic buildings, the Royal Palace and the Abbey Church. The buildings and ruins which lie here are now a testament and a tribute to the days of the Scottish Kings and Scotland's turbulent past.
