    In the centre of town. It is a charming property with a lovely garden. The interior is modern but reflects the character of the old building. Breakfast was excellent.

    A really nice cottage and it is like on the photos. The breakfast was perfect and John, the owner, has given us a lot of information where it is worth to go. I loved it to go jogging in the woodlands. Perfect place to stay if you love nature....

    We absolutely loved The Ruin. It was the perfect place for us to stay during our trip, the accommodation is luxurious and beautiful and John could not have done more to make us feel welcome. We had the best time and were sad to leave.

Both the Ruin and the Studio have their own private entrance and our breakfasts are always delivered to your room which has a dining area . Guests are also able to use our large private garden.
Falkland is about 40-50 minutes from Edinburgh by car. Alternatively there's a local station about 10 minutes away that has a regular service (45 min) to the city centre. The bonus here is that parking is free at the station, rather than crippling in Edinburgh! History wise we're next door to Falkland Palace , the Bannock Burn visitor centre is about 40 min away and the Wallace Monument is there too. Scoune Palace is about 30 min away this is where the Scottish kings were crowned. Loch Leven about 20 min away - after a childhood at Falkland palace Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned on an island there, she didn't have the luxury of the scenic boat trip. St Andrews is about 30 min away - golf, university, beach. If you look at National Trust website it'll list other National Trust properties you can visit. There are also several villages (Falkland, Dysart and Culross) on your doorstep that have featured in the series Outlander. Essentially we're very central. There are fabulous woodland walks on our doorstep in Falkland Estate with tunnels and bridges, you can even walk behind a waterfall. Scoobie the cat isn't allowed in The Ruin. He pads about our house and the garden, he'd sa
