Cunninghams can be found defending their nation as far back as the late thirteenth century when they helped to repel would-be Viking invaders at the battle of Largs, and this martial tradition continued under the Cunningham Earls of Glencairn, who were famed as ‘bonnie fighters’.
• The family were no less ardent in supporting the Protestant Reformation, while an Earl of Glencairn was not only a friend but also an important patron of the national bard Robert Burns.
• The colourful and prominent tale of the Cunninghams is recounted here.
