Dunfermline Palace. Probably built in the 13th century, originally as a guest house of the Abbey, became a Royal Palace for Scotland's Kings and Queens. In the 16th century, alterations and additions were commissioned by King James VI and Queen Anne. The Palace was the birthplace of many royals, including King Charles I in 1600, a son of James VI and Queen Anne and a daughter, Princess Elizabeth in 1596, Grandmother of George I, the first Hanoverian King and the ancestor of the present Royal Family.
