Malcolm Canmore's Tower Mug

The remains of Malcolm Canmore's (King Malcolm III) Tower can be found in the grounds of Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The foundation walls of this fortress date from the second half of the 11th century when Malcolm built his royal residence in the town. During his 35-year reign he and his wife Margaret (daughter of Edward Atheling, claimant to the English throne) tried to create a united and civilized nation, however, he fell victim to an ambush at Alnwick, Northumberland in 1093. Not much is left, but it was originally a two storey building, measuring 52 by 48 feet, and is believed to have contained 20 small apartments. The tower is used in the Burgh Arms of the town.
