Local charity, Three Estates Cupar, promotes Cupar’s rich heritage with a focus on The Sons and Daughters of Cupar. This month, an event at Cupar Library, brings together a collaboration of contributions that celebrate Cupar’s unique medieval heritage, and you are invited …

This year (2025) saw the publication of a major contribution to the understanding of Cupar’s most famous son, Sir David Lindsay, the new ‘Oxford Handbook of Scottish Theatre‘ edited by Professor Greg Walker and Emeritus Professor Randall Stevenson.

It tells the story of drama and performing in Scotland – from the earliest folk plays and royal ceremonies of medieval times right up to today’s challenges faced by the professional theatre.
