    Falkland

    The historic Village of Falkland is a beautiful location for exploring with many buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, and some even older. Outlander fans will know that a ghostly highlander lingers near the Bruce Fountain and just across the street inside Mrs. Bairds. Falkland is a gorgeous village and a fun photo opportunity!

    During the Scottish Wars of Independence 1296 to 1314, between the Scots and the English, St Andrews Castle was destroyed several times, changing hands on a number of occasions. The castle we see today dates back to about 1400. St Andrews Castle was home to King James I of Scotland (1406-1437) when he received part of his education from Bishop Henry Wardlaw, the founder of St Andrews University in 1410. In 1445 the castle was the birthplace of King James III of Scotland.
