Clan Cunningham is a Scottish clan. The clan does not currently have a chief, therefore it is considered an Armigerous clan by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, though recently two contenders for the chiefship have emerged. Sir John Montgomery Cuningham Bt of Corsehill has petitioned the Lord Lyon for recognition (February 2011) but his petition has been challenged by W R B Cunninghame Graham of Gartmore. The case is currently before the Lyon Court and is awaiting his decision.

Famous quotes containing the words clan and/or cunningham:
“We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
—Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
“While the hollow oak our palace is,
Our heritage the sea.”
—Allan Cunningham (1784–1842)
