A digital 3D reconstruction model of Cambuskenneth Abbey, Stirling, Scotland, showing what the abbey and adjoining monastic buildings might have looked like in its rebuilt state following an attack by the army of King Richard II of England in 1383. The abbey has an accompanying freestanding bell tower or campanile, which is unusual in Scotland. The tower is the only surviving part of the original church still standing today. It may have been spared its destruction by virtue of its use as a watchtower. The forms of the monastic buildings, including the monks’ dormitory, refectory, cloister and chapterhouse, are entirely speculative. The exterior masonry would have looked very bright with a lime-mortared and lime-rendered appearance - not exposed stonework. The west front may have been decorated with colour and pigments, although we have no evidence to support this.
