Cupar

Cupar stands on the River Eden in the heart of Fife. By 1328 it was a royal burgh, with a market serving the farms and villages around it. Its castle changed hands during the Wars of Scottish Independence and was surrendered by its English garrison in 1337. In 1559 Cupar was among the first places in Fife to adopt the Reformation, as religious change spread through the burghs of eastern Scotland.
