Augustinian
settlement, founded by King David I in 1147, within a loop of the
winding River Forth. The Abbey was closely involved with the Battle of
Bannockburn (1314): Bruce's Parliament here in 1326 was the first to
include representatives of Scotland's burghs and James III and his
Queen are buried in the grounds. Much of the building was carried away
after the Reformation, but the Bell Tower or Campanile (originally
1300) survives in restored condition.
