Scope and Content Courtyard front of south range 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). To the left of the gatehouse (right), the north front of the south range, like the rest of the courtyard, was is Classicising in style. This was probably intended to create contrast with the more old-fashioned Ecclesiastical Gothic outer face. 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.
