Scope and Content Ceiling of Chapel, 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). The ceiling, carved in about 1540 by Richard Stewart, is among the surviving parts of the original interior of the Royal Chapel. The painted emblems of King Charles I and his family date from his visit in 1633 and were heavily restored in 1896. 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.
