The gatehouse and pend which link Dunfermline Palace and Abbey. Some of the palace remains are just over the fence on the right, while some of the remains of the Abbey are behind the Gatehouse. Dunfermline Palace is a former Scottish Royal Palace in Dunfermline, Fife. It is currently a ruin under the care of Historic Scotland and an important tourist attraction in Dunfermline. Dunfermline was a favourite residence of many Scottish monarchs. Documented history of royal residence there begins in the 11th century with Malcolm III who made it his capital. His seat was the nearby Malcolm's Tower, a few hundred yards to the west of the later palace. In the medieval period David II and James I of Scotland were both born at Dunfermline.

The Refectory and Gatehouse, the surviving ruin of Dunfermline Abbey in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The gatehouse is built above a Pend (or Yett), one of Dunfermline’s medieval gates. The Abbey Church (out of shot on the right) has been rebuilt and serves the Church of Scotland community of Dunfermline. In 1068 AD, following The Battle of Hastings, the defeated English royal party with Margaret (born circa 1045 AD), daughter of Edward Atheling, claimant to the English throne, arrive at Dunfermline at the court of Malcolm III. Margaret was married to King Malcolm III in a church at Dunfermline in 1070 AD. She liked the place so much she decided to set up a religious community here, bringing in Benedictine monks from Canterbury to form it.

Donnington Castle is in the village of Donnington near Newbury in Berkshire, England. It dates from 1388 when Sir Richard Abberbury was given Royal permission to build fortifications. In the 15th century the castle passed into the hands of Thomas Chaucer, son of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer. Henry VIII is reported to have stayed here in 1539, as did his daughter Elizabeth I in 1568. At the start of the English Civil War it was in Parliamentary hands before being taken by the Royalists. Finally retaken by Parliament it was 'slighted' to prevent further use.

The fortified bridge over the River Monnow (Afon Mynwy) at Monmouth, South Wales. This is one of only two remaining fortified bridges in Great Britain and the only one with the gatehouse actually on the bridge. It dates from the C13th, replacing an earlier wooden construction. In its time it has also served as a gaol, munitions store and principally as a toll gate. It has been considerably restored over the years and, with traffic becoming heavier, was eventually designated as pedestrian only. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200 Textures applied in PhotoshopCC
