The Falkland Estate has grown and shrunk over the centuries. At one time it included most of the Royal Burgh of Falkland and a large surrounding area.

Ownership of the Estate is vested in the Falkland Estate Trust (FET).

"The Falkland estate, which is bounded on the south by the Lomond Hills – “the pride and ornament of Fife” – stretches along the fertile plain known as the Howe of Fife, and extends over six thousand acres. There are fifteen large farms all let to excellent tenants.[1]


"Paths and tracks run throughout 1900 hectares of land with routes through forest, past active farm land, over burns and to the summit of East Lomond."[2]
