The market in Cupar did not go ahead on Saturday as a result.

The Courier has approached the operators for comment.
Cupar market cancelled
An announcement on the future of the market was made by the group CuparNow.
A Facebook post informed locals that there would be no market on Saturday.
It said: “We have been told that that the Fife Farmers’ Market has ceased trading with immediate effect.
“As a result, there will be no market this Saturday (20th May).
“Sadly, the stalls we had sponsored as part of our support for the community will no longer be available to those who had requested them.
“They – together with those who have reserved a community stall in the remainder of the year – have been informed.”
Hopes Cupar market may be resurrected
However, the post added: “We have spoken with the company that is looking to resurrect a Cupar market under a completely new banner.
“Planning and discussions are ongoing. They are hopeful to have things in place for June onwards.
“We have expressed our wish to support the same community stalls to benefit local groups and organisations.
“We will keep everyone posted as soon as we have more news.”
