Falkland Palace
A fine Renaissance palace with an extensive formal garden and one of Britain’s oldest tennis courts
Non-golfers will depart for a tour of Falkland Palace, which is the end result of King James IV and his son James V, commissioning the best architects and craftsmen to create a ‘pleasure palace’ for their beloved country pursuits of falconry and hunting.
After lunch A tour of Kellie Castle. Dating back to the 14th century, the castle was saved from ruin in the late 19th century by famous artistic and architect family, the Lorimers. Crow-stepped gables and fairytale stone towers form the outer frame, while indoors elaborate plaster ceilings and painted panelling lie alongside fine furniture designed by Sir Robert Lorimer.
