Tour Scotland video of the Cunningham memorial stained glass window on visit to St Fillan's Church in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland. The Cunninghams have been around a long time in Aberdour from 1700 onwards. The Cunningham surname is of early medieval Scottish origin. It is a locational regional name from Cunninghame, one of the territorial divisions of the county of Ayrshire. A Scots family of this name can trace their ancestry back to one Wernebald, a vassal of the Norman nobleman, Hugh de Morville, who obtained the manor of Cunningham from his feudal superior in the early 12th Century. Notable bearers of the name were William Cunningham, fourth Earl of Glencairn and lord high treasurer of Scotland, in 1526; and also Sir Charles Cunningham, bon 1755, died 1834, first lieutenant of the " Hinchingbroke " with Horatio Nelson in 1779.
