The lost seaside picture of Cupar in Fife

This image is not of CUPAR but do you know where it's from?
This picture of CUPAR in Fife from 1986 shows a lovely picturesque seaside town. However, there is a problem with this image. Cupar is around 10 miles away from the sea!
It seems that we made a mistake in '86 and the wrong image has been attached to the caption.
Can you help us identify the image? Do you know where it was taken? We'd like to return it to its rightful d-block.
