Hugh Cunningham of Bonnington

Sir Hugh Cunningham of Bonnington (1642–1710) was a 17th-century Scottish merchant who served as Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1702 to 1704.

In 1689 he was made Master Of Paul's Work, a building where Waverley Station now stands.

In 1694 he loaned the city £4000 and was made Water Baillie of Leith and a burgess of Canongate.

He purchased a burial plot in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the same year, probably to bury his father.
