Queen Margaret, the wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland, set up the original church/monastery at Dunfermline in the late 11th century. Her son, David I, continued the development of the priory and converted it, to it’s Abbey status, in 1128. The part of the building directly behind the main entrance shown in the photographs, dates from the early 12th century.

A lovely photo and interesting information about the founding of the abbey. The architecture of old religious buildings is always magnificent and perfect for photographers like you.
