Overview
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. Aiket Castle is in Dunlop parish in Ayrshire.
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.
Cunningham was involved in the murder of Hugh Montgomerie, 4th Earl of Eglinton on 19 April 1586. It is said that he was killed in revenge soon afterwards near Aiket.
