Falkland
Falkland is one of the most picturesque and atmospheric small towns in Scotland. Situated in historic Fife at the foot of the Lomond Hills, it shot to importance in the 14th century when the Stewart monarchy acquired Falkland Castle from Macduff, the Thane of Fife. Unlike the Picts who had built a fort on the East Lomond for defensive purposes the Stewarts were most interested in Falkland as a place of sport and relaxation. The name of Falkland is associated with falconry which was one of the popular sports in the area and the Howe of Fife with its vast forests was ideal for hawking as well as hunting deer and wild boar.
Staying near Falkland gives you the best of both worlds. There's rural peace and tranquility, but it also has a choice of small pubs and restaurants, an award winning tea-room, antique and gift shops, a hairdresser, post office, bank and cash machine. These are all within easy walking distance of Ladywell House. It's also a central point from which to explore Fife and other parts of Scotland.
