St. Bride’s Church in Douglas, Scotland, is really a hidden gem. Built in the 14th century, it was the burial site of the Black Douglas family, fierce warriors and loyal allies of Robert the Bruce. The most famous, Sir James "Black" Douglas, was one of Bruce’s most trusted commanders. He earned a fearsome reputation for his daring raids against the English. After Bruce’s death, Douglas set out to take his heart to the Holy Land, but he was killed fighting the Moors in Spain. His tomb lies inside
