Old photograph of the Nave in Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh, Scotland. This Scottish abbey, which is located in the grounds of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which it predates, was built in 1128 at the order of King David I of Scotland. All that survives of the rebuilt church is the nave. This was spared at the Protestant Reformation in 1560 because it served as the parish church of Canongate, the next burgh. The choir and transepts were destroyed in 1570.
