FALKLAND. (Book Falkland)

FALKLAND is a pretty little Town in the Sheriffdom of Fife. At the Foot of Lomon Hill, there is a stately Palace, which King James the V. caused to be built for a retiring Place, it being most convenient also for Hunting.

The King's Park and a Wood are adjacent to it, into which, as also into the Plain towards the East, it hath a most pleasant Prospect. The Marquess of Athol is Hereditary Keeper of this Palace, and hath a considerable Rent by the neighbouring Lands and Stewardry. It gives the Title of Viscount to the Family of Falkland.
