Abbot House, Dunfermline

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

abbot-house.jpg

Abbot House has borne witness to the intrigues of Church and State, survived fire and tempest, war and pillage and even outlasted much of the great Benedictine Abbey itself. Within its walls Abbots and Kings have consulted on affairs of State, while great poets like Henryson and Dunbar have declaimed their latest works. Hardly any aspect of Dunfermline’s and Scotland’s colourful history has failed to leave its mark. It is well worth a motorhome Scotland Sight seeing tour.
