Falkland Pursuivant of Arms is a Scottish pursuivant of arms of the Court of the Lord Lyon.
The title was first mentioned in 1493 and it is derived from the Royal Palace of the same name located in Fife. The title is often used for a Pursuivant Extraordinary: an officer who is not part of the ordinary complement of the Court but is called to duty when needed.
The badge of office is A stag lodged requardant Gules, gorged of a coronet of four fleur-de-lys (two visible) and four crosses pattee (one and two halves visible) Or.
On 6 January 2016 the Lord Lyon appointed George Way of Plean to the role as an extraordinary Officer of Arms for a period of five years.
