Scope and Content Turret dressing-alcove off 'Keeper's Bedroom', second floor of Gatehouse, 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). This turret off the late 19th-century second-floor 'Keeper's Bedroom' was converted to a dressing-alcove shortly after World War II. 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.
