Dunfermline Abbey and Palace

Admire one of Scotland's most impressive medieval interiors and most important royal sites, founded as a priory in about 1080. Robert the Bruce was buried in the medieval choir, now beneath the Abbey Church of 1821. St Margaret and David I are among the other monarchs interred here. Charles I was born in the palace that grew up alongside the abbey. Look for grand architecture, elaborate carvings, a painted vault of the 1500s, stained glass windows and displays of sculpture. The Abbey Church is not managed by Historic Environment Scotland but is open to the public. 1 Apr to 30 Sept: Mon to Sat, 10am to 4.30pm; Sun, 1pm to 4pm Last entry 4pm 1 Oct to 31 Mar: Daily except Sun and Mon, 10am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm).
