The remains of a great Benedictine abbey
Founded by Queen Margaret in the 11th century. Substantial parts of the Abbey buildings remain, including the vast refectory. Next to the Abbey is the ruin of the Royal Palace rebuilt from the guest house of the monastery in the 16th century for James VI and his Queen. This was the birthplace of Charles I, the last monarch born in Scotland. "Photographs courtesy of Historic Scotland"     |
