The tolbooth of Cupar was first mentioned in 1441. For centuries it stood at the Cross between the entrance to Bonnygate and St. Catherine Street (Lamb., 1885, i , 129). When the latter street was opened up in 1817 the tolbooth was removed and a new town hall and county offices were erected nearby (Lamb, 1885, i, 129).
