A half-day immersive experience to explore the place and history that makes Falkland Estate. You are invited to enjoy this historical estate – the original Royal Hunting Ground of the Stewart Monarchs – where Mary Queen of Scots learned and fell in love with Falconry.

Giving rise to the (now much loved) Palace being built, this land has long been used a recreational space, a place to play, and to learn in.

Enjoy the experience, benefit from the stories told by a dedicated walking guide, and be treated to a drink and a scone at the beautiful Garden Café looking on to the iconic East Lomond Hill.

A delightful trip out and in an amazing place – all for £25 per person

Falkland Estate is a place to visit, enjoy, respect and return.  We look forward to welcoming you here.
