Scope and Content Dedication plaque, Moncrief House, High Street, Falkland, Fife Moncrief House was probably built in 1610 for Nicol Moncrief, a servant of James VI who praises and thanks his master in an inscription on the front of the building. The plaque reads: 'AL PRAISE TO GOD AND THANKIS TO THE MOST EXCELLENT MONARCH OF GREAT BRITAINE OF WHOSE PRINCELIE LIBERALITIE THIS IS MY PORTIVN. DEO LAVS. ESTO FIDVS. ADEST MERCES. NICOLL MONCRIEFF. 1610'. In old inscriptions: depending on its position the letter 'V' often stands for 'U'; and the spelling is usually very different from modern practice.
