Extracted from The Pictorial History of Scotland The Scottish Nation, by Skene and The Scottish Highlands extracted by Frank Adam. There was a similar foundation at Dunfermline. Of this the following account has been given by a writer of great research;- "The splendid abbey of Dunfermlin owed its inconsiderable foundation to Malcolm Ceamore; its completion to Alexander I, and its reform to David I. The monastery of Dunfermlin was dedicated, like the other Culdean establishments, to the Holy Trinity. Here, the Culdees, with their abbot, discharged their usual duties, during several reigns; and David I, who lived much with Henry I, of England, upon his accession, introduced, among the Celtic Culdees, thirteen English monks from Canterbury."
