Falkland

Overview

Picturesque Falkland is famous for its royal palace.

Falkland nestles between the two Lomond Hills in the Howe of Fife. It is most well known for Falkland Palace. This royal dwelling was once the country residence of the Stewart kings and queens as they hunted deer and wild boar in the forests of Fife. Built between 1501 and 1541 by James IV and James V, the palace has some of the most exceptional architecture of its time in Britain. It is also the home on one of only two 16th-century tennis courts (the other is at Hampton Court in England).
