- Falkland in Fife, Scotland. A two part adventure this week, we start off with a trip to the gorgeous Fife village of Falkland, favourite retreat of Mary Queen of Scots.
We check out some of the unique buildings and disappear down a historical rabbit hole looking at marriage lintels.
What's a marriage lintel? Well watch and find out :)
After that we head over the River Forth to Edinburgh for a cruise on the Union Canal.

Love the old houses in Falkland. The cobblestone pathway's and scenery, so very quaint. I have never heard the story of the marriage lintels, such a fascinating fact. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.
We were so impressed, it was a lady in the village who noticed us filming and told us about the lintels. We love it when that happens, people who are really passionate about "their" wee place.
Love the ancient architecture and craftsmanship. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thank you for bring us along with y'all. I love see the sights and sounds of Scotland. have a blessed evening.
As always, thank you so much!!!
Falkland looks like a really interesting place, thank you for sharing this with us.
It's a wee hidden gem, only a small village but so much to see.
What a beautiful town. Falkland has definitely gone on the " to be visited" list. Thank you. Loving the content from the three of you😁👍
It's a gorgeous wee place, don't think we've been anywhere just so picture postcard perfect.
Falkland is very cute! The cemetery is quite beautiful, it's nice to see it so well tended.
It's an amazing wee place. We'll be back :)
Memories. Used to go with my mum. She loved Falkland Palace. I can't remember paying though. It is a beautiful town. Canal cruise looks fun. I love Edinburgh. Thanks for sharing
We had a great weekend, and definitely need to get back to Edinburgh more.
The wedding lintels are fascinating, I had never heard of that before. You are a veritable fount of knowledge, say that three times!😁
They’re amazing, we’re going back looking for more :)
Falkland is beautiful. I love the graveyards, and the war memorials except I was hoping you would get closer so I could read the names. I have relatives in many areas of Scotland. Another enjoyable video thanks for taking us along.
Graveyards and memorials, we’ll you’re in the right place 😀
Looks like you both had fun. 🥂 Thanks for sharing.❤
We did, and you're welcome.
Enjoyed this one much. If anything bought, would enjoy seeing. Amazed with old world engineering. Tells you where our minds were problem solving and on occasion how complicated we have made things now.
Really enjoyed Falklands. No worries, been fussed at and run off too lol.
Can be difficult to know the difference between establishments and residence on those old back alleys.
Assuming Mabel was where you left her.
Thanks for sharing
We love the way old engineering did the job, but always managed to look so impressive and beautiful (in its own way).
How interesting! I had never heard of this place.
It's only a wee village, but so much history there.
Only recently discovered your channel and we love it!
Am watching from the beginning!!!!! Got a way to go yet!
Thank you for telling us about the gravestone symbols and the lintel thingamybobs!
Cheers

Welcome aboard!
I was telling my hubby about your adventure along the canal. He was a University of Edinburgh student who stayed in one of those student lodgings. That was cool to see.
It’s a nice part of town. Many an evening out there in our younger days.
Great video, loved Falkland, it’s a lovely wee place. Your Canal cruise was also interesting. How much trouble navigating your way back to Mabel was the darkness or the gin.
The darkness... definitely :)
