| The old Dunfermline Palace now a ruined shell. |

| This was once a small stream from which the monks drew water and used as waste sewer. Lets hope they drew the water before they disposed of the waste. The alcove at the head of this gully was led to the privy. |

| The remains of the refectory to the south of the church. |
 |
| The gatehouse and the Palace walls |
