The charming village of Cupar is located in the historic county of Fife, surrounded by undulating hills and situated beside the gurgling River Eden. The Hill of Tarvit, an Edwardian mansion that is worth a visit, is one of the ancient buildings that still has much of its original mediaeval flavour. The mansion, which the National Trust for Scotland has owned since 1949, is home to a substantial collection of Chippendale and French furniture from the 18th century, as well as Chinese ceramics and magnificent Dutch paintings. With 13 different species of deer from all over the world, Fife’s lone wolf pack, otters, and other uncommon Scottish breeds, the neighbouring Scottish Deer Centre is spread out over 55 acres of greenery. The park is quite stunning, and it’s a great place to spend the day with guided tours, woodland hikes, nose-to-nose encounters, and birds of prey shows, among many other activities. Fife Zoo, Mount Hill for walking, and Norman’s Law are all easily accessible. It is around 9 miles to St. Andrews, the location of the St Andrew’s Links golf course and the University of St. Andrew’s, the oldest university in Scotland.
