Approximately £560,000 is available for properties within a designated space at the heart of the Cupar Conservation Area, which includes St Catherine Street and part of Bonnygate and Crossgate.

Grants can support repairs to historic buildings using traditional materials and skills, as well as improvements to historic shop fronts.

Deputy Council Leader Lesley Laird said: "Cupar has a superb architectural heritage, reflected in its many listed historic buildings and large Conservation Area.

"These historic buildings need regular care and attention. This grant scheme is designed to help property owners and occupiers to repair and conserve the historic fabric and traditional appearance of their buildings."

The event will take place at County Buildings in Cupar between 3pm-7pm on 27 May.
