Dunfermline Abbey is one of those places where you can almost smell tragedy in the stonework. Pretty much everything you see here was built, or rather rebuilt, after 1303. It was in that year that Edward I, in one of his murderously vindictive tantrums, torched the place, burnt it to the ground. He was, as usual, making a point. To smash up a royal mausoleum was to strike directly at Scotland' s sense of independent history. The greatest symbol of that independence, as always, was Stirling. Its surrender took the fight out of the Scots. |
