A great wee traditional music festival featuring ceilidhs, concerts, workshops, sessions and competitions. Falkland is located in the rural heart-land of the kingdom of Fife. Situated at the north-east base of the east Lomond hill and on the edge of the fertile “Howe of Fife” it possesses not only the ancient and stately Palace of Falkland, with its rich historic associations, but it also enjoys magnificent views. Falkland is 9 miles from the M90 motorway and 19 miles from St. Andrews.
