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.
