Falkland Palace is must see if you're visiting Scotland. The palace has some of the best furniture, artwork, and guides of anyplace in Scotland. The guides made the palace come to life with their stories. Some of the furniture dated from the 1500s and was in immaculate condition. They also had several floor to ceiling portraits of Charles I, Charles II, and several other key figures in history that were truly stunning. My only complaint was they don't allow pictures in the castle so I couldn't take the experience home with me. A must see if you're visiting Scotland.

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.
This partially restored royal residence has great atmosphere and the guides in each room help to bring the past to life. There are extensive gardens including Britain's oldest tennis court. Although Falkirk is somewhat off the beaten path, a visit to this village and the Palace is highly recommended. The Palace has no parking, but we were able to find a nearby public parking lot. It is a member of National Trust of Scotland.

Beautiful day and scene for a tranquil and peaceful walk. Well sign posted good paths although a little muddy but thoroughly worth it. Back to nature.

We visited Falkland due to its connection with Outlander and was blown away with the beauty of the village, a truly fascinating place. The ancient architecture is superb. The Fountain situated in the centre of the village is one of the many attractions to view
