(NO 3734 1456) "The old Tolbooth of Cupar stood at the Cross, midway between the entrances to Bonnygait (sic) and St. Catherine Street." A pictorial plan of Cupar by Gordon of Rothiemay, 1642, is reporduced showing the "Tollbuith". (It seems to haveoccupied very nearly the site of the modern Town Hall, projecting rather more to the west across the entrance to the Crossgate.)

A H Millar 1895.

The siting derived from the above information is at NO 3753 1456. No vestige of the tolbooth exists.
