Malcolm's Tower
Malcolm's Tower

Malcolm's Tower, also known as Malcolm Canmore's Tower, is a historic site in the Scottish city of Dunfermline, Fife. It consists of the foundations of a rubble built, rectangular tower enclosed by an oval shaped modern wall and is protected as a scheduled monument. It is located in Pittencrieff Park.The tower stood on a highly defensible peninsular outcrop of rock above a deep ravine and is the site from which the city derives its name.

Not far to the east of the tower's location are the remains of Dunfermline Abbey and later royal palace. All that survives of the tower today are foundational fragments of wall, but an image of the building was adopted at an early date as the burgh arms for Dunfermline. Old wax seals suggest it to have been a building of two storeys with an attic. It might have contained around twenty small apartments. Before the western access road to Dunfermline was built, Malcolm's Tower would have been an almost impregnable fortress, perhaps rather like a broch, and this almost certainly explains Dunfermline's motto Esto rupes inaccessa (Be an inaccessible rock).The opening lines of the traditional "Ballad of Sir Patrick Spens" are thought to refer to the tower: The King sits in Dunfermling Toun Drynking the bluid-red wyne …
