"Scone Abbey (originally) Scone Priory ... Dates given for the establishment of Scone Priory have ranged from 1114 A.D. to 1122 A.D. However, historians have long believed that Scone was before that time the center of the early medieval Christian cult of the Culdees (Céli Dé in medieval Irish meaning "Companions of God")." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scone_Abbey

Private User - sorry it has taken a couple of years, but the burial place for Maud, Countess of Huntingdon, Queen consort of Scotland has been updated to Scone Abbey as per source. Although it doesn't exist anymore, and it was not yet Scone Abbey, but Scone Priory, so I'm wondering if we should in fact call it Priory?

The information Wikipedia's article shows appears to have some legitimacy given the two links that follow., Therefore, I DO think Scone Priory would be wholly justified..

– From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scone_Abbey#
"Dates given for the establishment of Scone Priory have ranged from 1114 A.D. to 1122 A.D. However, historians have long believed that Scone was before that time, the centre of the early medieval Christian cult of the Culdees (Céli Dé in medieval Irish meaning "Companions of God"). Very little is known about the Culdees but it is thought that they may have been worshiping at Scone from as early as 700 A.D...."

"c. 1115 CE Alexander I of Scotland establishes Scone Priory." – https://www.worldhistory.org/timeline/Stone_of_Scone/ . Also saying much the same here– https://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/scone_abbey.html

Agreed and done. And since I have your attention on her, would you mind proofreading the updated "about."? I couldn't even read it so archived and started over. I like the sectioning I've done so want to keep that, but something that just occurred to me is perhaps making it clearer that her Scots children were, I think, all born in England. I don't think we know which of her manors, but when they had their children David was her consort, right, not the other way around? So, local to her estates, not his property.

Okay! I'd be happy to do it, Queen/Duchess/Countess/Dame—take your pick of fun titles ;-)—Erica Howton . I'll have time tomorrow. We're headed to Norfolk, VA now to see our Navy son and his wife. They have work tomorrow giving me time to do it then I can get to it.
Feel free to ask me to clean up overviews. I've cleaned up several profile overviews when merging created duplicate and triplicate information.
Then there are those who do copy-and-paste jobs without caring to make them scannable or easily readable:
Reformatting: creating sentences; bullet points, etc.
Removing defunct URLs,
Putting highest level sources at the top of overviews
Putting low-leverl one at the bottom.
Removing duplicate quoted matter.

You may be sorry you offered more help, :):)
