Scope and Content Carved shutter of 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). This shutter was installed in 1897 when the gatehouse's second-floor west room was converted to a Dressing Room as part of the work carried out for the third Marquis of Bute. 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.
