DUNFERMLINE - The ancient capital city of Scotland
The king sits in
Dunfermline toun
Drinking the blude red
wine
Oh whar can I find a
skeely skipper
To sail this ship of mine
Home to kings, queens, saints and heroes, Dunfermline became the capital of Scotland when Malcolm Canmore succeeded to the throne in 1058. His wife Margaret was a devout Catholic who founded a church and a monastery in the city. She was canonised in 1249, becoming St Margaret of Scotland.
Dunfermline's most important landmark is the Norman Abbey, built by David I in 1128 on the site of the Benedictine priory founded by his mother Margaret. Over the centuries it has become a mixof architectural styles but the nave with its pillars and Norman decorations are still admired.
