Cupar
Cupar is a community, former royal burgh and parish in Fife, Scotland. It lies in between Dundee and also Glenrothes. According to a 2011 population price quote, Cupar had a population around 9,000, making it the 9th biggest settlement in Fife, and also the civil church a population of 11,183 (in 2011). It is the historical county town of Fife, although the council currently sits at Glenrothes. The community is believed to have grown around the site of Cupar Castle, which was the seat of the sheriff and was possessed by the earls of Fife. The area came to be a centre for judiciary as the area of Fife and as a market community providing for both cattle and also sheep. Towards the latter stages of the 13th century, the burgh came to be the site of a setting up of the 3 estates - clergy, the aristocracy and burgesses - organised by Alexander III in 1276 as a predecessor of the Parliament of Scotland. Although written information of a charter for the modern-day community was lost, proof suggested that this existed as one of the many residential properties possessed by the Earls of Fife by 1294. During the center of the 14th century, the burgh began to pay customizeds on taxable incomes, which probably meant that royal burgh status was granted at some time in between 1294 as well as 1328. The oldest document, describing the royal burgh, was a grant by Robert II in 1381 to give a port at Guardbridge on the River Eden to help improve trade with Flanders. This grant was officially acknowledged by James II in 1428.
