July 23rd photograph of Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, Scotland. King Robert I, The Bruce, is commemorated at Dunfermline Abbey with the words "King Robert the Bruce" carved round the central tower. This was built in the early 19th century after the original tower fell in a violent storm. During restoration work, human remains considered to be those of King Robert the Bruce were found and reburied in a position later occupied by the pulpit.
