- Abstract
- Dunfermline Abbey originated from a priory church at Dunfermline, Scotland, was founded by Queen Margaret of Scotland in 1070. The abbey became a burial place of Queen Margaret, who was canonized in 1249, and other members of the royal family. However, it is difficult to identify the medieval liturgical space of Dunfermline, because of the destruction of large parts of the church at the abbey during the Reformation and later on, and the building of the new parish church on the site of the medieval choir and transept in the early nineteenth century. Therefore, this article aims to recreate the development of the Dunfermline liturgical space from the beginning of King David's reign in 1124 to the translation of St. Margaret's remains in 1180, and discuss the significance the transformation in devotional space in relation to the focus of devotional activities during the same period of time.
