Scope and Content Angel corbel, 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 corbel supports one of the figures carved by Peter Flemisman in 1539 to decorated the south front of the chapel. The carved angel bears the 'Arma Christi' emblem associated with Christ's Passion. 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.
