United Kingdom, Scotland, Dunfermline Abbey 

In the center of Dunfermline, one of the historic cities of Scotland and its medieval capitals, there is a monastery belonging to the Benedictine Order. It is called Dunfermline Abbey. This place also serves as a tomb for many Scottish kings.

In 1070, Margaret, the granddaughter of King Edmund II of England, Ironside, married King Malcolm III of Scotland in Dunfermline. The Queen liked these parts so much that she decided to establish a religious community here and invite Benedictine monks from Canterbury here. So in 1072 Dunfermline Abbey was founded.
