A hidden prince. Burning castles. A deadly feud. A poet whose words would outlive the nobleman who championed him. Discover the stories that give Clan Cunningham its distinctive place in Scotland’s history and imagination.

Stories From Clan Cunningham brings together fifteen tales of ambition, loyalty, vengeance, faith, and survival. Rooted in the landscapes of Ayrshire, this collection explores the clan’s documented past alongside the legends and traditions that have gathered around its name.

From the royal rescue legend behind the shakefork and the motto “Over Fork Over” to the bitter rivalry with the Montgomeries, these stories reveal a legacy shaped by far more than battles. Ghostly memories, skilled craftsmen, religious defiance, and literary friendship all have their place.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• The prince-in-the-barn legend and the stories surrounding Cunningham origins.
• The burnings of Kerelaw and Eglinton, and the killing at Annick Ford.
• The haunting tradition of the Green Lady of Lainshaw.
• The craftsmen of Kilmaurs and the formidable “Amazon of the Covenant.”
• Glencairn’s Rising and the uncertainties of settlement in Ulster.
• The Earl of Glencairn’s support for Robert Burns and the poet’s enduring tribute.
• The broken chiefly line and the clan’s eventual return to recognised leadership.

Written in an atmospheric storytelling style, this collection invites readers into castle courtyards, troubled households, and moments when personal choices became part of a family’s lasting identity. It considers both what history records and what later generations chose to remember.

Whether you have Cunningham ancestry, enjoy Scottish clan history, or love tales of castles, rivalries, and folklore, this book offers an engaging connection to Ayrshire’s past.
