The recording of Peter Burman's talk 'Stories of remembrance' is now available to view.
The Falkland Society exists to promote knowledge and understanding of the archaeological, architectural, historic and artistic heritage, past and present, of Falkland and its wider context in Fife and Scotland.
We also maintain the Historic Falkland website with resources about the history of our town, and the Falkland Wiki (Falkland Historic Buildings).
The Falkland Society is run by a Committee elected by its members at the Annual General Meeting. See the AGM Minutes, September 2022 (PDF file) including our Chair's report on the Society's activities in 2021-22
Our season of monthly lecture meetings runs from September to June. All are welcome, whether members or not. To receive regular updates and Newsletters from the Society, and invitations to join us by Zoom for future meetings, please sign up to receive the Society's mailings using the form on our 'Contact' page. There's a full list of forthcoming events on our 'Coming events' page.
Meetings are currently held online; a few meetings in the summer months are 'hybrid', held in a local venue but also open to our online audience - for these we usually take a retiring collection at the close of the session to cover the expenses of organising and managing the series.
Full lists of our monthly talks are available for 2018–19, 2019–20, 2020–21, 2021–22 and 2022–23 and 2023-24.
Previous Newsletters are available on our 'Newsletters' page.
Our online meetings have usually been recorded. To view the recordings, go to the 'Recordings' page.
We are now taking orders for our new book, Falkland and its People 1901–1913, published in December 2020.
Other books published by the Society can be consulted at Falkland Library, next to the Community Centre in the Falkland's central car park. The Society’s rich archive is housed in the same building.
In August 2020 we launched a project to collect information and images of the historic buildings throughout our Conservation Area and beyond.
The results of the survey are being dcoumented in the Falkland Wiki (a Wikipedia-style online database) and there's more information on the Historic Falkland website.
Falkland is an historic village and former Royal Burgh, in the Kingdom of Fife in central Scotland.
