Cupar
Cupar is a community, former royal burgh as well as church in Fife, Scotland. It exists in between Dundee and also Glenrothes. According to a 2011 population quote, Cupar had a population around 9,000, making it the nine biggest negotiation in Fife, as well as the civil church a population of 11,183 (in 2011). It is the historic county town of Fife, although the council now rests at Glenrothes. The town is believed to have expanded around the site of Cupar Castle, which was the seat of the constable and was had by the earls of Fife. The area ended up being a centre for judiciary as the county of Fife and also as a market town providing for both cattle and lamb. Towards the last stages of the 13th century, the burgh became the website of an assembly of the three estates - clergy, nobility and citizens - organised by Alexander III in 1276 as a predecessor of the Parliament of Scotland. Although composed information of a charter for the modern community was shed, proof suggested that this existed as one of the many residential properties owned by the Earls of Fife by 1294.

The earliest paper, describing the royal burgh, was a grant by Robert II in 1381 to give a port at Guardbridge on the River Eden to aid boost trade with Flanders. This grant was officially acknowledged by James II in 1428.
