Alexander I died #OTD in 1124. It's said that in 1123 he was forced to shelter from a storm on Inchcolm, in the the Firth of Forth. He vowed to build a monastery on the island as thanks for his salvation. David I carried out his brother's wish. Have you visited Inchcolm Abbey?

@EdinburghLive_ @welovehistory Yeah no problem

@Inchcolm_Iain @welovehistory Hi Iain, amazing pictures! Would you be okay with us using these for an article? With credit, of course!

Props to David I on #BrothersDay for honouring his deceased brother by building Inchcolm Abbey. In 1123 Alexander I sheltered on Inchcolm during a storm. He promised to build a monastery in thanks but he died the next year. David became king & carried out his brother's wish.
