What is recorded here
Falkland Palace, Wall stands in Fife, Scotland, but no human memory or clear purpose has survived to explain why the stones exist. The wall may have marked a boundary, excluded a person, or simply resisted the rain. Its refusal to leave a trace is the striking part.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Falkland Palace, Wall as Wall (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Falkland Palace was built in the 16th century by the Stewart family, primarily as a royal residence and hunting lodge. It is important as one of the best-preserved Renaissance palaces in Scotland and was a favored retreat of King James V.
