13 Cupar Sheet 6.

[Quotation]
" The district of Cupar formed a parish in early times when the great parochial divisions of Crail, Kilrenny, Kilconquhar, St Andrews, Leuchars and a few others comprehended all the eastern part of the county. The small parish of St. Michael's lying on the South of the Eden was joined to that of Cupar in the beginning of the last century. The church belonging to the parish stood on that beautiful spot now known by the name of St. Michael's Hill. Human bones are still occasionally discovered in the fields when the operations of husbandry are going forward. The ruins of a small chapel situated near the eastern boundary of the lands of Kilmaron were to be seen not many years ago. - Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] vol. [Volume] 17 p. 147.
