Cambuskenneth
is
a
village
within
the
city
of
Stirling.
The
historic
Cambuskenneth
Abbey,
a
ruined
Augustinian
monastery
founded
c1140
by
David
I,
was
once
one
of
the
more
important
abbeys
in
Scotland.
Royalty,
including
English
King
Edward
and
Scottish
King
Robert
the
Bruce,
prayed
regulary
at
the
abbey.
Bruce
held
his
parliament
there in 1326 to confirm the succession of his son David.
In
1488
King
James
III
was
murdered
at
the
Battle
of
Sauchie
and
his
body
was
brought
to
Cambuskenneth
Abbey
for
burial
beside
his
queen,
Margaret
of
Denmark,
who
had
died
two
years
previously.
After
bones
were
excavated in 1864, Queen Victoria commanded their re-interment under a stone monument within the choir.
