Welcome to Cupar Scotland
 Cupar
is a town in Fife, Scotland. The town is approximately equidistant between
the larger city of Dundee and the New Town of Glenrothes.
According to a recent population estimate, Cupar had a population around
8,980 making the town the ninth largest settlement in Fife.
For much of the past millennium Cupar was the county town of Fife. It
inherited this role from the coastal village of Crail in 1214 but lost
that title to the new town of Glenrothesl in 1974.
Much of the early wealth so evident in the buildings you see in Cupar
today was based on the wool trade, and on the town's central location
as a market serving a large part of eastern Fife.
The early nineteenth century saw Cupar as a centre for financial services,
despite the failure through mismanagement of the Fife Banking Company
in 1825. A new county headquarters was built in 1817, and the local newspaper,
the Fife Herald, was founded in 1822.
By 1825, Cupar was home to four breweries, none of which remain in production
today.
