Scope and Content Detail of parapet, south front of south range of 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 shows part of the south front of the south range's parapet. Like the rest of the outer front, its architecture is described as late Gothic Ecclesiastical. This style, normally reserved for churches, would probably have impressed ordinary people. Falkland Palace's outer front is described as 'Ecclesiastical Gothic', and that of its inner front as 'Renaissance'. Recent research shows that this contrast was an intended part of James V's remodelling, rather than a result of different periods of work. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
