[Notes Dunfermline Abbey] -- "Dunfermline Abbey was a Benedictine Monastery. It was begun by King Malcolm III, or Canmore,
and was finished by King Alexander I. surnamed the Fearce. It was famous for being the Burial
place of several of the Kings of Scotland. It is by some thought to have been originally intended for
an hospital or infirmary being stiled in some old manuscripts, Monasterium ab Monte Infirmorum
At first it was governed by a Prior, but David I changed into an abbey, and brought into it, in
the year 1124, 13 Monks, from Canterbury; but at the Dissolution there were twenty-six." -- Groce's Antiquities
"King Malcolm III. founded the Monastery; and he and his successors, especially David I,
Did endow the same with great riches and privileges. By which privileges it appears
that in his days, there was gold found in the waters which came off the mountains
and hills this Shire, as there is silver, Copper, Lead and Iron found in them," -- Sibbald's Fife & Kinross
