Summer Road Trip Drive To Visit The Parish Church On Visit To Falkland Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland Summer travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes and fiddle music, on the single track road through the Lomond Hills on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to the Parish Church in Falkland, Fife. The first church was erected in 1595 after Falkland received its royal charter. It was replaced in 1620 but the building was said to be in poor condition by the 1840s, necessitating its demolition. The church is built on rising ground in the centre of the village and faces south onto the High Street. The three stained glass windows on the north elevation are by A. Ballantine and Gardiner, dated 1897, and depict the Nativity, the Resurrection and the Ascension of Christ. One of the first scenes for Outlander was filmed in the picturesque town of Falkland, which substituted for 1940s Inverness in the Highlands, Falkland is where Claire and Frank stay on their second honeymoon. The Covenanter Hotel feature as Mrs Baird's guesthouse; the Bruce Fountain, where the ghost of Jamie looks up at Claire's room; Lomond Pharmacy which doubles as Campbell's Coffee Shop; and Fayre Earth Gift Shop as Farrell's Hardware and Furniture Store, where Claire stops to look at a vase in the window.
