Scope and Content Carved figure and niche, 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 is one of the two surviving figures carved by Peter Flemisman in 1539 to decorate the south front of the chapel which, like the other outer fronts, is described as late Gothic Ecclesiastical in style. 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.
