Alexander Cunningham of Aiket

Alexander Cunningham of Aiket (died 1592) was a Scottish landowner.

He was a son of John Cunningham and Helen Barclay, daughter of the Laird of Corfin.

Alexander Cunningham of Aiket is frequently confused with his uncle or cousin, Alexander Cunningham younger of Aiket, who died before 1570 and was implicated in the murder of John Mure of Caldwell.

[1] Cunningham was involved in the murder of Hugh Montgomerie, 4th Earl of Eglinton on 19 April 1586.

[2] On 13 August 1586 his wife, Dorothea Ross, and other Cunningham victims of the feud, complained to the Privy Council that the Master of Eglinton, Neil Montgomerie of Lainshaw, and others had obtained a commission to apprehend the murderers of the Earl of Eglinton, and had burnt the House of Corsehill, and held the Houses of Robertland and Aiket.
