And Robert The Bruce, Scotland's powerful king and other Scottish monarchs rest in our Abbey.

David Bowie. Elton John. The Clash. The Yardbirds. The Dutch College Swing Band. Cream. Deep Purple. Acker Bilk. Boney M. Thin Lizzy and thousands more in venues like the Ballroom to KT Tunstall and Franz Ferdinand at PJ Molloys.
The food here is fabulous too...
