Cupar Cross.
In 1817 the market cross was removed from Cupar to Wemyss Hall Hill, but in 1897 it was replaced on the present site, at the junction of Crossgate, Bonnygate, and St. Catherine Street. On the pedestal, which is either modern or re-dressed, is an oval cartouche bearing three garlands, two and one, for the burgh of Cupar, with the motto, UNITAS on a label below. The supporters are angels, and the crest is a lion rampant. A circular shaft dated 1683 rises from the pedestal, and on this the motto is repeated. The capital is modern, but is surmounted by the original unicorn, which is gorged and chained and supports a shield bearing: On a saltire, a thistle slipped.
