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).
