Cupar
Cupar is a community, former royal burgh as well as church in Fife, Scotland. It lies in between Dundee and Glenrothes. According to a 2011 population quote, Cupar had a population around 9,000, making it the 9th largest 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 sits at Glenrothes. The town is believed to have expanded around the site of Cupar Castle, which was the seat of the constable and was possessed by the earls of Fife. The location became a centre for judiciary as the county of Fife and as a market community providing for both livestock as well as lamb. In the direction of the latter stages of the 13th century, the burgh came to be the website of a setting up of the three estates - clergy, nobility and citizens - 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 recommended that this existed as one of the many residential properties owned by the Earls of Fife by 1294. Throughout the middle of the 14th century, the burgh began to pay customs on gross incomes, which most likely implied that royal burgh status was provided sometime between 1294 and 1328. The oldest paper, describing the royal burgh, was a grant by Robert II in 1381 to provide a port at Guardbridge on the River Eden to help boost trade with Flanders. This grant was officially identified by James II in 1428.
