Chapel Royal of St Thomas the Martyr of Canterbury History
The Royal Palace of Falkland, built between 1501 and 1541 was the country residence and hunting lodge of the Stewart monarchs. The Palace was restored by the 3rd Marquess of Bute using John Kinross as his architect. The chapel in the south range dates from c1540 and was decorated in the 17th century: the ceiling with royal coats-of-arms, and the walls with Scriptural texts. The stained glass windows show heraldic badges of Scottish Kings and Queens associated with Falkland Palace.
The chapel was restored by Kinross in 1896 and fitted out for Catholic worship. The altar, retable, and dais were designed by Robert Weir Schultz and were fitted in 1909. The 17th century tapestries in the tapestry gallery, and which were acquired in 1906, originally hung in the chapel. Entry to the chapel, during normal property opening times (see http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/93/), is included with the admission ticket for Falkland Palace. Entry to the chapel for Sunday mass is free of charge.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
