David Cunningham of Robertland
Sir David Cunningham of Robertland, in Ayrshire, was Master of Work to the Crown of Scotland from 1602 to 1607, and Surveyor of the King's Works in England from 1604 to 1606
==Career==
Involved in the murder of the Earl of Eglinton in 1585, Cunningham spent some time in exile at the royal court of Denmark, and the Danish government wrote to James VI of Scotland to reconcile him with Eglinton's heirs.〔Thomas Riis, ''Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot'', vol. ii, (1988), 58〕 He was rehabilitated in 1589, when James VI himself travelled there to meet and marry Anne of Denmark. A Danish journal records that on 27 November 1589, the Danish ladies-in-waiting asked Bishop Jens Nilssøn to discuss the case with the Scottish chancellor. The ladies, bishop and chancellor then had an audience with James VI at the Old Bishop's Palace in Oslo. James granted a pardon.〔David Stevenson , ''Scotland's Last Royal Wedding'',(1997), p.94-95〕 On arrival in Scotland he was appointed as 'sewer' to Queen Anne, a courtier who attended to the royal person at mealtimes, and a role once occupied by James Hamilton of Finnart for James V.〔''Papers relative to the marriage of James VI'', Bannatyne Club (1828), 28〕
He was appointed Master of Works after the death of William Schaw in 1602. He may have been an architect, and followed the court of King James to England, having first been knighted in 1604, and then made Surveyor of the King's Works in England between 1604 and 1606. He resigned the Surveyorship to Simon Basil in April 1606.〔McKean, Charles (2001). ''The Scottish Chateau''. Sutton Publishing. ISBN 0-7509-2323-7. p.158.〕
