The Royal Palace of Falkland, built between 1502 and 1541, set in the heart of a unique medieval village, was the country residence and hunting lodge of eight Stuart monarchs, including Mary, Queen of Scots. Set in a charming village amid the gentle scenery of the Royal Kingdom of Fife, the Palace is the country's most stunning example of Renaissance architecture. The Palace is famous for its beautiful gardens and for the Real Tennis court, built in 1539 and still hosting international championships.

Fife

The southwest of Fife was built on Coal and linoleum and other industries that are much run-down whereas the prosperous-looking rural northeast couldn't be more different. Northeast Fife consists of St Andrews and the East Neuk and this is the area to see. The East Neuk of Fife is a string of beautiful old fishing villages. Other destinations worth a visit are Falkland, Cupar and the Howe of Fife. Here, you'll find Falkland Palace, one of Scotland's most remarkable historic buildings. The Fife Coastal trail is a favourite amongst walkers.
