Cambuskenneth Abbey
📍 Stirling, Scotland
About
The Abbey of St Mary of Cambuskenneth, commonly known as Cambuskenneth Abbey, was a provostry of Canons Regular located on an area of land enclosed by a meander of the River Forth near Stirling in Scotland. The abbey today is largely reduced to its foundations, however its bell tower remains. The neighbouring modern village of Cambuskenneth is named after it.
Founded in 1147 by David I as an Augustinian priory. Robert the Bruce held parliament here in 1326. James III and his queen Margaret of Denmark were buried here in 1488. The detached bell tower (13th century) is one of the finest in Scotland. Most of the abbey was demolished after the Reformation. The tomb of James III was rediscovered in 1864 and marked by Queen Victoria.
