Description

Statement of special interest

Scheduled Monument. Built by the Macduffs, Earls of Fife; in 1371 to Robert Stuart Earl of Monteith later Duke of Albany; James II made Falkland a Palace 1460.

Reason for removal from listing

Scheduling [as a Scheduled Monument] is the more appropriate designation for this structure.
