Tour Scotland photograph of the interior of Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, Scotland. The current church building, on the site of the old Abbey's choir, remains in use as a Parish Church in the Church of Scotland, still with the name Dunfermline Abbey. During the Scottish Reformation, the abbey church was sacked in March 1560. Some parts of the abbey infrastructure still remain, principally the vast refectory and rooms over the gatehouse which was part of the former city wall. The nave was also spared and it was repaired in 1570 by Robert Drummond of Carnock. It served as the parish church till the 19th century, and now forms the vestibule of a new church.
