Sunday 5th June 2022 saw people from across Cupar and beyond gather to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Picnic In The Park. 

At the bandstand, all manner of events, activities and performances entertained hundreds of folk who enjoyed what was a great community gathering. And those present heard a reading of an historic proclamation that had been first heard in the town 470 years earlier - almost to the day. 

The medieval proclamation was read by Guthrie Hutton of Cupar Museum & Heritage Centre. We couldn't record it on the day so caught up with Guthrie at the museum soon after and he was kind enough to introduce the piece - and then read it for us to capture for Cupar's Year of Stories 2022. 

This podcast features as part of Cupar's celebration of Old Scots and the role the town played in the history of the language - captured in a series of ongoing talks and lectures delivered by a wide range of expert speakers under the umbrella of Cupar's Development Trust and Three Estates Cupar ... all helping to recognise the life, times and works of Sir David Lyndsay, aka Scotland's Shakespeare!
