Last month we were in Edinburgh Scotland and took the opportunity to visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Founded as a monastery 1128, this palace has been home to many kings of Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots and is now the residence of Queen Elizabeth when she’s visiting Edinburgh
Attached to the palace is an abbey that was the site of many coronations of Scottish kings. The abbey is now in ruins, gutted by a fire set by an anti-Catholic mob.
On the abbey wall is a memorial that reads:
Our Savior puts it this way: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:19-21
