Title
Falkland Palace and Garden
Description
King James IV and his son, James V, commissioned this palace in the early 16th century.
The Kings loved hunting and falconry, and this was created as a sort of holiday house for them to pursue these hobbies.
There are many fairytale-esque buildings to explore, including the Chapel Royal and Britain's oldest real tennis court.
The surrounding gardens are home to an orchard and wildflower meadow as well as a Renaissance style herbal garden.
This tour consists of a set of multiple 360ยบ photographs from both inside and out of the palace allowing the viewer to experience much of what is on offer.
Accessibility note: This is unsuitable for wheelchairs as there are a lot of stairs. There is a hearing loop and large print guides.
