Tour Scotland early Winter 4K travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of the exterior of the Palace in Falkland village on ancestry, genealogy, family history Outlander visit to Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. One of the first scenes for Outlander was filmed in the picturesque town of Falkland, which substituted for 1940s Inverness. Before Falkland Palace was built a hunting lodge existed on the site in the 12th century. This lodge was expanded in the 13th century and became a castle which was owned by the Earls of Fife, the famous Clan MacDuff. The castle was built here because the area could be easily defended as it was on a slight hill. The surrounding land eventually became the Palace gardens. Falkland Palace provided the young Mary Queen of Scots with the opportunity to indulge her passion for sport and the outdoors, fostering a strong attachment to this royal residence. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
