I tabled the motion below in the Scottish Parliament after I had the great pleasure of attending the play “Bones, Bogles & Coronets” in Dunfermline Abbey.
Motion S5M-11246: Alex Rowley, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Labour, Date Lodged: 22/03/2018
Bones, Bogles & Coronets
That the Parliament congratulates all those involved in the performance of the play by Diane M Stewart, Bones, Bogles & Coronets, which was one of the first events in Dunfermline Abbey Church’s Bi-Centenary Celebrations; notes that the celebrations will continue over the next three years, culminating in 2021 with a bi-centenary of the inaugural service; is delighted that the money raised is to be used to support refugees in Scotland, as well as continuing to look after the final resting place of Robert the Bruce, and encourages the people of Scotland to visit the historic palace and abbey, which has been a centre of Christian worship for over a thousand years and one of the most important cultural sites in all of Scotland.

There are some brilliant visitor attractions in Dunfermline not least of which is the amazing Abbey, the birthplace and burial ground of so many Scottish Kings and yet many Fifers have never graced its doors. There is always a warm welcome.
