Falkland Palace
Falkland Palace in Falkland, Fife, is a former royal palace of the Scottish kings transformed in the 16th century into a Renaissance-style royal residence and hunting retreat. It served as a favored residence for Stewart monarchs, accommodated royal apartments, a Chapel Royal, a great hall, stables and a royal tennis court, and was set within managed parkland used for hunting.

As it stood in 1541
The shape it held in its prime.
A long ashlar stone palace set on a slight hill within parkland, composed of several rectangular ranges and a taller crenellated block to the rear. The south-facing façade has multiple rows of tall rectangular mullioned windows and a low central range with steep slate roofs; a cylindrical corner tower with a conical roof projects at one end. Numerous tall stone chimneys punctuate the roofline. At prime the ranges are fully roofed and occupied, with formal gardens and a serviced close to the north.
