All the fun of the fair in Falkland
Published Date:

VISITORS and residents in Falkland enjoyed all the fun of the fair on Saturday as the village's annual festival drew to a close.
Historic Falkland Palace formed the backdrop for the annual medieval street fair, a tradition for over 20 years, which aims to evoke a taste of village life in days gone by.
The event proved so popular this year that a field to the rear of the palace had to be pressed into service as an overflow car park, and several coachloads of tourists mingled with the locals on the cobbled streets.
Most of the stallholders donned medieval costume for the occasion, selling wares ranging from food to crafts.
Street entertainers, a pipe band and a live jazz band added to the atmosphere of the day, which had begun with the traditional children's parade.
Our photos show the crowds enjoying the fair, which is widely regarded as the highlight of the week-long festival.
