May photograph of Falkland Village, Fife, Scotland. A town and former royal burgh, formerly known as the Parish of Kilgour, located at the foot of the Lomond Hills. The village is best known as the location of Falkland Palace, begun in 1500 by James IV, and the best example of French-influenced Renaissance architecture in the United Kingdom. The palace was built to accommodate the royal Court when they came to Falkland to hunt in the nearby forests; Mary Queen of Scots was a frequent visitor.
