Holyrood Abbey and Abbey Strand

Edinburgh

About

The monastery has expanded over the centuries, and the surviving roofless nave, Romanesque arcades, Gothic windows, and vaulted ceilings help us imagine the grandeur of this once magnificent building. Look for the royal refuge containing the remains of James V.
