The abbey can trace its origins back to a priory founded here by Queen/Saint Margaret in 1070. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dunfermline/abbeypalace/index.html

Charles I (“King & Martyr”) was executed on this day in 1649. He was born in 1600 at Dunfermline Palace & lived there until he was four. This is #DunfermlineAbbey next to the Palace. The young prince would have known it well, though by his day it was already falling into disrepair.
