Scope and Content Late Jacobean bed, '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 is the carved bed installed in the late-19th-century 'Keeper's Bedroom' by Michael Crighton-Stewart, grandson of the 3rd Marquis of Bute. Bearing the date 1618, it is reputed to have belonged to King James VI and I (1567-1625). 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.
