Cupar is a small market town in Fife, Scotland, set beside the pleasant waters of the River Eden. With medieval roots and a compact historic centre, it was long the county town and still shows that civic heritage in its old streets, independent shops and cafés.
Surrounded by arable farmland and within easy road and rail reach of St Andrews and Dundee, Cupar combines a rural economy with a lively local culture: regular markets, agricultural shows and arts events give the town a strong community feel despite its modest size.
