About the property:
The National Trust for Scotland purchased the property in 1992 and have since sensitively restored it. The accommodation still boasts original wooden floors throughout, with traditional stone flooring in the kitchen. The half-panelled sitting room has a charming open fire and working shutters for the windows.
About the area:
Paye House is situated next door to the Hugh Miller Museum & Birthplace Cottage, and just around the corner from the historic Cromarty Courthouse, making it an ideal location from which to explore the many highlights of this beautiful village. Cromarty is the ideal destination in the Highlands, whether you wish to stop or are touring. Although not a Highland town itself, Cromarty is a convenient holiday centre from which to tour, being only 40 minutes' drive from Inverness, the "capital of the Highlands".
Cromarty is a popular and attractive conservation village. Places of interest include the birthplace of Hugh Miller (in the care of the National Trust for Scotland): Miller was a stonemason, eminent geologist, editor and writer, whose thatched cottage is now a museum. The museum's cottage garden contains a colourful range of native plants.

Accommodation details:
Sleeps 4. Accommodation comprises: two twin bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen, separate dining room and bathroom with bath only.
Services : gas central heating from gas fire with back boiler, water heated by immersion
Our holiday flat is situated on the first floor, overlooking the beautiful Palace orchard and garden. It is reached through a shared front door via a steep spiral staircase, which we regret is not suitable for the elderly or infirm. There is one parking space for the flat on the cobbles at the gable end of St Andrew's House nearest the Palace. There is also a free car park in the village, which is a short walk from the property.
Holiday guests who are non-members are entilted to a complimentary visit to the Palace and gardens during normal property opening hours.
About the property:
The historic Royal Burgh of Falkland lies 11 miles north of Kirkcaldy on the A912. Its focal point is the Royal Palace and Garden, built between 1450 and 1541, the hunting residence of the Stewart kings and queens. Mary, Queen of Scots spent some of her happiest days here 'playing the country girl in the woods and parks'.
About the area:
The village of Falkland has a small supermarket with a post office. There is also a bakers, fruit shop and several gift and antique shops. Places to eat include Italian and Chinese restaurants and three public public houses, all within easy walking distance. There is also an organic shop and cafe on the Falkland Estate. If your taste extends to the hills, your attention will quickly be caught by the mass of East Lomond looming steeply over Falkland to the south west. Its 424m summit is not high by Scottish standards, but it nicely sets off the village and provides a good balance to the dominance of the palace.
Falkland is situated 16 miles from St Andrews, home of Scotland's oldest university and the Royal and Ancient, possibly one of the most famous golf clubs in the world.
Fife boasts all four of Scotland's Blue Flag beaches - ensuring that they are clean and safe with plenty of facilities. St Andrews West Sands, Elie Harbour Beach, Burntisland and Aberdour Silver Sands have all passed with flying colours. There are plenty of other beaches which have won Seaside Awards, from Kinghorn to Crail, Anstruther to Kingsbarns. For safe family fun, Fife's beaches are the best in Scotland.
