Dunfermline Abbey, Romanesque abbey in Dunfermline, Scotland.
The abbey features a large stone tower with inscriptions, grand arches, and extensive walls stretching across the Fife landscape.
King David I established Dunfermline Abbey in 1128, transforming the previous monastery into one of Scotland's largest religious structures.
The burial site contains the remains of multiple Scottish monarchs, including Robert the Bruce and Queen Margaret of Scotland.
Visitors can access the abbey daily from April through September, with guided tours available in English at scheduled times.
The original structure survived partial destruction by Edward I in 1303 and maintains architectural elements from its 12th-century construction.
