Scope and Content Dressing Room, second-floor west room, gatehouse, 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). A 17th-century portrait of Charles I's sister, Elisabeth of Bohemia 'The Winter Queen' hangs to the right of the fireplace in the gatehouse's second-floor west room, refurbished as a Dressing Room in 1897. It is on loan from the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Falkland Palace's late 19th-century alterations and restorations were carried out for John Crighton-Stuart, third Marquis of Bute, who became hereditary Keeper in 1887. The work continued under his heirs. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
