__NOTOC__
'''Brunton House''' is a private house in [[Brunton Street]], adjoining [[Little Brunton]] and [[Wester Brunton]]. It was once the residence of the Simson family, hereditary falconers to the Kings of Scotland.

It is probably older than the date of 1712 on the armorial panel.

It was restored in 1894–95 for the [[third Marquess of Bute]] by [[Robert Weir Schultz]] as a school for the Roman Catholic children of the village, and refurbished in 1910 for use for use by [[Lord Ninian]]'s chaplain,<ref name=playfair />.

In 1953 Major [[Michael Crichton Stuart]] presented it to the [[National Trust for Scotland]], who restored it in 1970 under the [[Little Houses Improvement Scheme]].

"The harled early C18 Wester Brunton House has been heavily restored. So too (by R. Weir Schultz in 1894–5, and again in 1970–1) has the adjoining Brunton House, crowstepped and with a smart armorial panel dated 1712."<ref>[[Gifford, Fife|Gifford, ''Fife'']], page 221.</ref>

"Brunton House, Brunton Street, 1712 (restored 1894–5, and 1970–1, R W Schultz), a three-storey masterpiece in coursed rubble, pantiles and crowsteps, originally belonged to the Hereditary Falconers to the Crown."<ref>[[Pride, Kingdom of Fife|Pride, ''Kingdom of Fife'']].</ref>

"As early as 1953, he [Major [[Michael Crichton Stuart]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> presented the early 18th century Brunton House, Brunton Street (dated 1712, and listed later as Category A) to NTS ... Despite the early transfer of ownership of Brunton House, it was not restored by LHIS until 1970.<ref name=LHIS2>[[Watters and Glendenning]], page 105).</ref>
----
"It [the house in which [[Emilia Geddie]] lived] may be seen in the wynd which bears the name of [[Sharp's Close]] [''sic'']—a substantial three-storied house. Inserted beside the door is a deeply scuptured stone with heraldic emblems—with the initials, 'W.S. J.W. 1727.,' and the motto 'Diligentia et vigilantia.' The initials indicate William Stevenson and Jean Wallace."<ref>''[[Historical Antiquities]]'', page 58. The initials are correct, but inspection of the stone seems to confirm that the date is 1712, not 1727. Also the same book places the Royal Falconer at what is now the [[Bruce Inn]], rather than Brunton House.</ref>

[[File:FSlogo.png|thumb|Falkland Historic Buildings logo: including a black and white version of the Falkland Society logo, based on the cover image of ''[[A Falkland Guide]]'']]This page is intended to tell you about the '''Falkland Historic Buildings Project''', what we've been doing, and what still needs to be done.
==Background==
This site is a wiki, using the same principles as Wikipedia. It was founded in 2020 by Ross Burgess, for the Falkland Society, arising out of the work on the Society's book ''Falkland and its People 1901–1913.

During August 2020 volunteers from the Falkland Society delivered a leaflet to every listed property within the Falkland Conservation area, and other buildings of interest, asking residents to tell us about their house, giving details such as any previous names the building was known by, and who lived there before 1970 (a 50-year cut-off to protect the privacy of current residents).
==Geographical scope==
The wiki is intended to cover all buildings, roads, and other features in any of:
*the former [[Royal Burgh of Falkland]]
*the former [[Parish of Falkland]]
*the [[Falkland Estate]]
*the current [[Community Council area]]
==What we've achieved==
By December 2021:
*over 400 articles (content pages)
*over 500 images: some have been uploaded directly to this site; others are hosted on Wikimedia Commons, including some we have uploaded ourselves and branded as "[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Files_from_the_Falkland_Historic_Buildings_project Files from the Falkland Historic Buildings Project]" and others transferred from the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Geograph_Britain_and_Ireland Geograph] project. See "Statistics" below.

*articles for every building in the Parish of Falkland mentioned in:
**[[Gifford, Fife|Gifford, ''Fife'']] (''Buildings of Scotland'' series)
**[[Pride, Kingdom of Fife|Pride, ''Kingdom of Fife'']] (Architectural Guides to Scotland)
**''[[A Falkland Guide]]''

By February 2022:
*articles for every listed building in the Parish of Falkland
*articles for every scheduled monument in the Parish of Falkland

==Articles still needed==
There's currently [[Special:WantedPages|a list]] of around 80 articles still needing to be created.

Specifically, the aim is to have articles for:
*articles for every local building mentioned in [[Playfair and Burgess|Playfair and Burgess, ''Falkland and its people 1901–1913'']] (central area, [[Map D]], now complete).
*all buildings within the Conservation area and historic core of the Burgh (a few still missing)
*All named streets and roads within the Parish (a few still missing, mainly in Freuchie and Newton of Falkland)

'''Note:''' new pages about buildings should be created using the [https://historicfalkland.scot/wiki/index.php?title=Building_Template&action=edit Building Template]. See also [[Help:Editing this site]].

==Images still needed==

About 120 articles are still classified as "[[:Category:Pages with no pictures|Pages with no pictures]]".

Some of our existing images could do with replacing by better photographs. Old images showing a scene as it used to be are always welcome.

==Other ongoing tasks==
*Review all articles still marked as "[[PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION]]", and either:
**add any missing information, or:
**if the article seems reasonably complete, just remove the marking, or:
**if there are specific points needing addressing, add a talk page and remove the marking.
*For all buildings and places listed on the maps, add a "See map" line in the infobox, including the number where relevant (a few done so far, see [[Bruce Inn]] for an example).
*Ensure that all buildings mentioned are listed under the appropriate street
*Where appropriate (good image, no licensing problems) move image to Wikimedia Commons, to save space, and improve visibility of this project.
*Re-think the use of [[Outlying buildings]] and the [[:Category:Outlying areas|Outlying areas]] category.

==Recent updates==
*December 2021: fixed css to ensure images always fit within the screen width.

==Updates needed==
*Improve display on mobile phones
