The 1999 Fife Family History Fair, Organised by Fife Council
Libraries, was a great success, the delegates came from throughout
Scotland and England. The furthest travelled visitors were 3 FFHS
members who came over from U.S.A., arranging their vacation to
coincide with the fair.

Heritage Walk, Cupar(26th Sep)
On Sunday 26th September, the activities included Library special openings, a visit to St.Andrews University archives and special heritage walks. I took in the heritage walk in Cupar, along with a small band of keen explorers. We were privileged to have as our guide Steven Penrice, co-author of the book 'Old Cupar' (available from FFHS). Steven is the Chairman of Cupar Heritage Arts and Leisure Society. The leisurely walk included a visit to the old churchyard, and the site of the old prison. The walk ended with a visit to the Cupar H.A.L. Soc. archives, and a most welcome cup of tea. The walk was voted a great success by everyone present.
