Robert the Bruce's Tomb, Dunfermline Abbey

While Robert the Bruce's heart was buried at Melrose Abbey after an ill-fated posthumous pilgrimmage to the Holy Land, his body was buried in Dunfermline's Old Abbey in 1329. His tomb was destroyed during the Reformation period, with fragments of the tomb and his remains discovered in 1817. The skeletal remains of Scotland's most famous king were reinterred in Dunfermline Abbey and covered over with bitumen and a brass plaque donated by the Earl of Elgin in 1889.
