Tour Scotland photograph shot today of the Palace in Falkland in Fife, Scotland. A former royal palace of the Scottish Kings. The Scottish Crown acquired Falkland Castle from MacDuff of Fife in the 14th century. In 1402 Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany imprisoned his nephew David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay, the eldest son of King Robert III of Scotland, at Falkland. The incarcerated Duke eventually died there from neglect and starvation. Mary, Queen of Scots, was a frequent visitor to Falkland Palace.
