The Pends and James Blake blue plaque

Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom

The Pends. This gatehouse linked the Abbey guest house with the church and monks' quarters. Much later, the building housed Dunfermline's first damask weaving loom, set up by James Blake in 1718. Damask linen became Dunfermline's main industry for the next 200 years.
