Scope and Content Crossgate, Cupar, Fife Crossgate is one of the streets marking Cupar's medieval boundaries. Though most of its buildings have their origins in the 19th century, its property boundaries date from the Middle Ages when two of the plots belonged to the Knights Templar. The building with the spire (left) is the Duncan Institute, designed in a Gothic style influenced by medieval Flemish architecture. It was built in 1870-1 by John Milne for Mrs Duncan as a Mechanics Institute 'for the working classes of Cupar'. Gothic architecture, the distinctive pointed-arched style of the later Middle Ages, was revived in the late 18th century. It remained popular for public buildings, especially churches, well into the 20th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
