The picturesque village of Falkland in Fife, Scotland sits in a gentle hollow beneath the Lomond Hills, its compact cobbled square framed by traditional stone and timber buildings. The centrepiece is Falkland Palace, a largely 16th‑century royal hunting lodge with formal gardens and historic interiors that give the village a very distinctive, historic character.
Today the local economy leans on tourism, independent shops, cafés and country pursuits, and walkers use the nearby hills as a gateway to the surrounding countryside; the place has also become familiar to wider audiences as a filming location. Despite the visitor trade, Falkland retains the feel of a small rural community with local events, services and a relaxed pace of life.
