Lying as it does in the north eastern quadrant of Fife, Cupar is convenient for residents of the town and surrounding area. But it's also easy to reach from other parts of Scotland. A mainline railway station and good bus links make Cupar an easy day out for those using public transport.
If you prefer to bring your car, then rest easy. The roads from Edinburgh, Stirling, Dundee and beyond are fast and uncongested. Even better; longer term parking is free, but still within a couple of minutes' walk of the main shopping area!
