Falkland

For the second day of travel, we decided to head towards Dundee then tiki tour back towards home. Rather than drive the A road, we went on the B road. Along the way, not far from Dunde, we saw a sign to Falkland Palace and decided to investigate. A few miles up the road from our turn off, Falkland is a really old town dating back to the 1300s.

One thing I find in the UK, in the little villages, is that all the modern cars look so out of place, and sometimes I wish they could disappear so I could really get a feel for the old town. Falkland is such a place.

We quickly found the town square and parked up so we could go for a wander.


The town tourist map pointed out that many houses have marriage lintels above their doors, containing the names of people in centuries gone by who married and lived the houses.


Just down the road is the old palace, unfortunately closed because it was too early on Sunday morning. So we took photos and moved on.


The town is just starting to bloom, and promotes itself as a spring destination. All around the town on the outskirts, are displays like this.



What a lovely town! Time to move on, next stop Dundee.
