Stag House is a private house in Falkland on the corner of High Street and Mill Wynd, between the Old Town House and Mill Green. It was previously the Stag Inn: the current public house of that name has been separated off, and now occupies a bulding next door to the original inn, down Mill Wynd and facing Mill Green. The Stag Inn at one time included the Foster Room Restaurant.
