About Legends of the Abbey

Holyrood Abbey is one of the most important buildings in Scottish history, having witnessed coronations and royal weddings, treaty signings and parliaments, births and funerals. Today, the ruins resonate with the footsteps of the great figures who walked there, including Robert the Bruce, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Charles I. Join us for a short talk exploring the surprising stories, myths and legends that connect past royal residents with these romantic ruins.
