It was granted to the hospital of Loch Leven in about 1214 and passed in 1250–1 to the Red Friars of Scotlandwell, who maintained a hospital in Scotlandwell between 1250 and 1587. It was re-dedicated to the Holy Trinity in 1245 but no regular minister was appointed until 1608. In 1564, the parish of Moonzie was united to that of Cupar, but, in 1625, it was disjoined…
