    A free exhibition is being held in Cupar’s Corn Exchange on Friday 27 April to showcase a series of photographs taken by the town’s schoolchildren. Pupils from the four primary and secondary schools in Cupar have been working with a professional photographer on the project to inspire their community to be more active.  During the two-month ‘Be Active – Art in the Windows’ project the children were taught many different ways to be active, and were then encouraged to photograph their efforts around the town.
