Set in the heart of Falkland conservation village, and surrounded by extensive gardens, this partly restored Renaissance palace is the perfect place to while away an afternoon. Certificate of Excellence 2014 Winner Falkland Palace Part of the Palace is in ruins but the original and reconstructed rooms are packed with 17th-century Flemish tapestries, elaborate painted ceilings and antique furnishings. The beautiful, tranquil grounds are worth a visit alone. They are home to the oldest Real or Royal tennis court in Britain, built for King James the V. The grounds also include ruins of the 12th century Castle of Falkland, extensive gardens designed by Percy Cane and an ancient Orchard with a wild flower meadow. Please note the Palace & Gardens open 1 March to 31 October beach year. The shop is open all year round.

The Palace, built by the Stuart kings, was brought to its full Renaissance glory by James V in the early 16th century. Mary, Queen of Scots spent happy days here hunting and playing royal tennis. The Palace is surrounded by a beautiful garden and has a lovely gift shop.

A beautiful historic castle and amazing gardens, definitely worth a visit. Although get there early to get ahead of the bus tours! Falkland is a beautiful little city to walk around too with some sweet little coffee shops and restaurants in it.
