Scope and Content Chapel (looking west), second floor of south range, Falkland Palace, Falkland, 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). Most of the paintwork originates from the preparations for King Charles I's visit in 1633. It was restored in the 1890s. The oak screen at the west end (facing) and the ceiling were carved in about 1540 by Richard Stewart. Falkland Palace's late 19th-century alterations and restorations were carried out for John Crighton-Stuart, 3rd Marquis of Bute, who became Hereditary Keeper in 1887. The work continued under his heirs. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
