Located in Perthshire. Coupar Angus is a small market town on the River Isla. The area is an important agricultural region well known for its fruit and seed potatoes. The town has its own food processing industry based on the local production of crops and fruit. It has a long and varied history dating back to the time of the Romans. The remnants of a Roman fort can still be seen on the east side of the town. The stream that runs through the town was once the boundary line between Perthshire and Angus. Since the oldest part of the town was in Angus, the area was given the name Coupar Angus. In 1164, Coupar Angus was the site of a Cistercian Abbey and the monks traded with the merchants of Europe importing and exporting goods, especially wool, through the town of Perth. Today only a gateway of the abbey remains of a reminder of the past. It was burned in 1559 by a mob supporting the reformation of the Catholic Church. Over the years the stones that remained were carted away and used for other purposes by the people of the town.
