MALCOLM III. (Canmore) was born in 1024 and in 1057 ascended the Scottish throne after the death of the usurper Macbeth. He was the descendant of a race which had given kings to Scotland for six hundred years, and he introduced a comparatively enlightened era into that kingdom.

The Church of The Holy Trinity was built by King Malcolm for his queen Margaret, probably on the sight of the little Culdee Church at Dunfermline and these foundations can be seen under the present floor of the Nave.
