An Abbey A Day...

Having seen four great abbeys yesterday, we decided we needed to see another.  Especially since Dunfermline is only about a half-hour's drive away from Alva, and it was royal palace and abbey and resting place of Robert the Bruce (his heart, however, is at Melrose).  We had some adventures getting there, and then finding the place, and finding a Starbucks (aye, up the stairs in the centre, up the stairs, aye, in the centre up the stairs), and they closed the abbey for lunch at half one and kicked us out.  Oh well. 

It was nice, but it wasn't as impressive as the Historic Scotland brochure made it look.  I'm glad we went, and glad we had a car and got in free as members of HS.  But I'm really glad we didn't plan a whole day around it.
