Royal Tennis Court, Falkland

Mary, Queen of Scots played tennis here.

The Falkland Palace Royal Tennis Club (also previously called the Falkland Palace Real Tennis Club) organizes play at the real tennis court in the gardens of Falkland Palace, Fife, Scotland. Built for James V of Scotland, court construction began in April 1539 and ended in late 1541. It is the oldest tennis court in use today, though not continuously used since 1541.

No grass, Fabio. This is a Royal Tennis, or Real Tennis court, not a Lawn Tennis court. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe
