Scope and Content Dormer window, 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). This Classicising dormer window is part Renaissance style courtyard front of James V's south range. During the Renaissance, educated people began to regard the Classical past as a golden age of civilisation. This created a demand for buildings in 'Classicising' styles inspired by Greek and Roman architecture. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
