Falkland Palace
dominates the centre of the attractive Fife
village of Falkland, and shows
attractive renaissance work. Built as a hunting lodge for the Stuart
monarchs in the 16th century, it is said to have been a favorite of
Mary, Queen of Scots. In the grounds is a royal, or "real"
tennis court, built in 1539 for King James V and still in regular use;
it is the oldest of its kind in Britain.
Closes:
