Dunfermline Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in the eleventh century by Queen Margaret of Scotland, establishing one of medieval Scotland's most important religious and political centres. The abbey church, begun around 1150, became the burial place of Scottish kings and queens, including Robert the Bruce, and served as a focal point for royal patronage throughout the medieval period. The surviving remains include substantial sections of the Romanesque nave and impressive masonry that demonstrate the abbey's former architectural grandeur and significant resources. The site continued in use following the Scottish Reformation, with the nave subsequently serving as a parish church and elements of the medieval fabric remaining visible within the later ecclesiastical structures on the site.
