Cambuskenneth Abbey, Medieval abbey ruins in Stirling, Scotland
Located on a land encircled by the River Forth, Cambuskenneth Abbey features remaining foundations and a preserved 13th-century bell tower.
King David I of Scotland ordered the establishment of this Augustinian monastery around 1140, initially naming it the Abbey of St Mary of Stirling.
The abbey served as a parliamentary meeting place during the 14th century, with nobles and clergy gathering to make important decisions for Scotland.
Historic Scotland manages the site, which opens to visitors during summer months and contains interpretive panels explaining the medieval architectural elements.
The tomb of King James III and Queen Margaret of Denmark stands within the abbey grounds, marked by a Victorian memorial commissioned by Queen Victoria.
