Dunfermline Abbey in Scotland lists William Burn as architect in the infobox, though the text does not name one. King David I founded the abbey in 1128 on the basis of an earlier priory from the reign of Malcolm III and Queen Margaret. The infobox gives 1250 as completion, but the text mentions 1250 only as the year Margaret's remains moved to a reliquary at the high altar.
The article calls the old abbey simple and massive Romanesque, and the current parish church of 1821 Perpendicular, differing in style and proportions. It names no materials or dimensions. The nave dates to the 12th century.
The abbey was sacked in 1560 and the central tower finally collapsed in 1753. Robert the Bruce was buried in the choir in 1329, and his bones lie beneath the pulpit. It is an active Church of Scotland parish church. The article gives no hours.
