You're standing at Dunfermline Palace, or rather at what's left of it. Look at that huge south wall with its big rectangular windows. That wall, the kitchen and the cellars: that's all that survives of this royal palace. Now turn to face south. From here you get a sweeping view over the Firth of Forth. Not a bad spot for a king.
