Dunfermline Palace
Dunfermline Palace is a former Scottish royal palace attached to Dunfermline Abbey in Fife. Once altered and used by successive monarchs, most of the surviving fabric today is ruined, with the palace occupying the site between the abbey and the deep gorge to the south.

As it stood in 1600
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, coursed stone range of warm honey and grey sandstone running beside the abbey, dominated by a high south wall pierced by tall, pointed-arched window openings and void tracery; to the left a broad arched pend or gateway runs under the building, and behind the range the abbey's tower and spire rise. Masonry alternates ashlar and rubble courses, with evidence of tall stair-towers and battlements in historical records; in prime the walls would be roofed and windows glazed.
