Scope and Content Detail of ceiling Chapel, second floor of south range, Falkland Palace, Falkland, 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). These emblems were painted on the ceiling for the visit of King Charles I and his queen, Henrietta Maria, in 1633. 'CR' stands for 'Carolus Rex', and 'MR' for 'Mari Regina' - Latin for 'Charles the King' and 'Maria the Queen'. Falkland Palace's late 19th-century alterations and restorations were carried out for John Crighton-Stuart, 3rd Marquis of Bute, who became Hereditary Keeper in 1887. The work continued under his heirs. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
