A walk in Falkland, Fife.

It was in Falkland Palace that in 1402 the heir to the throne, David, the eldest son of Robert 111, died while a prisoner of his uncle, the Duke of Albany. Falkland's later fortunes were closely linked with the weaving of linen. In 1792 there were 231 weavers in the village, probably about a third of the population. Other buildings in the village reflect other phases of its history and other industries including brewing. Onesiphorus Tyndall-Bruce was a barrister from Bristol. his family had been merchants in slave traders who had opened Bristol's first bank in 1750. Onesiphorus and his wife lived latterly in Falkland.
