In this Clan Communique we finally connect Clan Cunningham to the region where Macbeth killed King Duncan. This study reveals that after Macbeth’s death our ancestors obtained land in the region of Duff Castle, and in this region there is a forgotten settlement that is called Kilmaurs. This Kilmaurs in northern Scotland is far from the more famous Kilmaurs in the Cunninghame region of Ayrshire, which raises a question. Was Cunninghame really the Thanedom that Malcolm the son of Frisken received? Or did our ancestors receive the Thanedom of Strathbroc which anciently covered a large part of modern day Moray and Banffshire, and is this forgotten possession of the earliest ancestors of Clan Cunningham the reason why we have failed to find any evidence for a large Thanedom in the region of Strathclyde? This is a must read for those who are interested in the start of Clan Cunningham.
