Dunfermline Abbey - one of the main places of Scottish history and spirit
From Glasgow where I was staying In Scotland it is needed about one hour to go to one of the most important places of Scotland - Dunfermline Abbey founded in 1128 by King David I of Scotland on the base religious community which have appeared during reign of his father King Malcolm III and his mother Queen St Margaret of Scotland.
During so long history many events, kings and queens were and have stayed here beginning from Queen St Margaret of Scotland. King of Scots Robert the Bruce, a fighter for independence Scotland and its national hero was buried here in 1329. His name is etched in Dunfermline Abbey tower sculpture.
