    Notes:

    Buried:
    There are several stories of where Robert the Bruce might be buried. His heart was buried elsewhere, per his request.. The Abbey where the rest of his body was laid was looted during the Protestant Reformation including his monument in the Abbey. In 1818 a decision was made to build another abbey on the site. Many archeological items were found including a burial vault in the same location of the old abbey's choir (in front of the high altar). There was only one coffin in it. The lead shroud had a crude shape of a crown at the head. The vault was closed then until the walls of the new abbey were completed (1819) and then opened again so a proper scientific review of the coffin could be accomplished. The skeleton was intact and removed and examined, and found to be in good condition. A plaster cast of the skull was made (there are several copies extant). The man was between 5'11 and 6'. The sternum was sawn down the middle (presumably to remove the heart). The decision was made to display the skeleton to the public and some pieces of the skeleton were not returned when it came time to re-lead his remains. Then 1500 lbs of hot pitch were poured over them sealing the coffin forever. The location of the coffin is just below the pulpit of the new abbey and a modern brass effigy is inlaid in the red marble covering.
