Russian Flax/Hemp Bale Seals from

   North East Fife Museum Service, Cupar - Scotland

  Although the museum houses one of the most extensive collections of Russian flax and hemp bale seals there is little to be seen of the flax industry here.  One survey suggested that as many as 30 mills were present along the course of the river, originally grinding cereals: from around 1800, flax spinning took over nearly one third of the mills. When the flax trade ran into difficult times, cereal grinding was reintroduced. The use of water power probably dates back to the 11th or 12th centuries, with water-powered corn mills being an integral part of the local economy. The River Eden provided water power to drive mills for grinding cereals to feed the local population and Cupar at one time had four mills in the vicinity of the town such as Tarvit Mills and Thomastoun.

The two principal mills were supplied from the same weir to the west of the town and some traces of the lade way that fed the mills can still be discerned. Until the 16th century it was among the richest royal burghs in Scotland, but declined in the 17th century, its trade handicapped by its distance from the sea.  In 1820, the upper mill – nearest the weir – was called the Spinning Mill and in 1840, it employed 33 people. In 1867, 100 people were employed, but about the time of the First World War it had died out. In 1887 Market-day was on a Tuesday; with a considerable trade in corn, malting, brewing, tanning, flax-spinning, and weaving.
