Falkland Palace and Garden

Falkland Palace, a favored countryside retreat of the Stuart monarchs, stands as a testament to its rich royal history. Located near Edinburgh, this grand estate has hosted a long list of famous royals, including Mary, Queen of Scots, who cherished memories of playing in the surrounding woods and parks during her youth. James V, James VI, and Charles II also spent time here, adding to its storied past. Today, visitors can explore the palace and its grounds, immersing themselves in the same spaces that once welcomed Scotland’s most illustrious figures.
