Falkland Palace, Fife, Scotland

Where the Royals Roamed and the Scones are Always Warm

Welcome to Falkland Palace, a place that sounds like it should be the setting for a Shakespearean comedy, complete with mistaken identities and a lot of people running around in tights. Instead, it’s a stunning historical site that offers a peek into Scotland's regal past while making you wonder how they managed to fit “palace” in the name without sounding overly pretentious. But hey, if you’ve got the history to back it up, why not flaunt it?
