Only the bell tower of the old abbey, which was built in 1140, survives. Robert the Bruce used it as the Houses of Parliament. In 1326 he confirmed his son's succession to the throne here.

Cambuskenneth Abbey was founded in about 1140 by King David I to serve Stirling Castle, which stands a short distance to the west. It was the scene of Robert the Bruce’s parliaments in 1314 and 1326, and the burial place of James III and Margaret of Denmark in the 1480s.
