Old Photograph Circus Cupar Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the Circus arriving in Cupar, Fife, Scotland. The town of Cupar is believed to have grown around the site of Cupar Castle, which was the seat of the sheriff and was owned by the earls of Fife. The area became a centre for judiciary as the county of Fife and as a market town catering for both cattle and sheep. Towards the latter stages of the 13th century, the burgh became the site of an assembly of the three estates. clergy, nobility and burgesses, organised by King Alexander III in 1276 as a predecessor of the Parliament of Scotland.
