Scope and Content Burgh coat-of-arms on pediment of Cupar Academy, Castlehill, Cupar, Fife Cupar Academy was built in 1806 by John Davidson, mason, and Charles Stewart, wright, on or near the site of a medieval castle. The south range was added in 1844-6, and the north block in 1867. The burgh coat-of-arms from the old tolbooth is mounted on the triangle or pediment over the main entrance of the Academy's east block. Cupar's old tolbooth was demolished 'under cloud of night', probably illegally, after a council meeting held at short notice by the Provost who wanted the building removed to improve access to land that he was developing.
