Cunningham Clan Tartan WR1200
|
|
| The origin of the name comes from the district of
Cunningham in Ayrshire. Alexander de Cunningham was
created 1st Earl of Glencairn in 1488. The family is now
widespread throughout Scotland. Cunningham was one of
the names adopted by the MacGregors when their own was
proscribed. There is a similarity with the MacGregor
tartan but the true origin is unknown as the claims of
antiquity made in the Vestiarium Scoticum, where the
Cunningham tartan was first recorded, are unreliable.
