This morning we made our way to Stirling, to the ruins of Cambuskenneth Abbey.
There, Una Voce had organised a Mass in the Old Rite in the Bell Tower, the only interior part of the Abbey still remaining.

The Abbey stands at the edge of Stirling, and in the shadow of the wallace Monument.
The abbey is also the burial place of King James III of Scotland, and his wife Margaret Princess of Denmark.
There were about 20 or so folk who gathered for this special Mass. Fr Emerson celebrated the Mass, and Monsignor Boyle was also present in his purple robes.
It was a solemn and dignified celebration, accompanied by the choir who attend the Una Voce Masses. All who attended were uplifted by the Mass.
In a fornight's time, there will be another Old Rite Mass, this time at Torpichen Priory, a Church with connections to the Knights' Templar.
