Scope and Content Aerial view of Falkland Palace, Fife Falkland Palace was remodelled in 1537-41 for King James V (died 1542). The south range dates from his reign, as do the exteriors of the earlier buildings. The east and north ranges were probably both built for King James IV (1488-1513). The south range consists of a two-towered gatehouse (left) with spacious apartments for the Palace Keeper, and, to its right, the chapel. The 'cross-house', probably built in 1529-32, projects from the centre of the east range. Falkland Palace's outer front is described as 'Ecclesiastical Gothic', and that of its inner front as 'Renaissance'. Recent research shows that this contrast was an intended part of James V's remodelling, rather than a result of different periods of work. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
