William Cunninghame
William Cunninghame of Lainshaw (1731–1799) was a Scottish tobacco merchant who, along with a handful of others in 18th century Glasgow, came to dominate and profit from the transatlantic trade. He made a fortune stockpiling cheap tobacco shortly before the American Revolution, assuming that Great Britain would not be able to retain control over her rebellious colonies, and then selling at high prices. Cunninghame's neo-classical palace on Glasgow's Queen Street today houses the collection of the Gallery of Modern Art.
==Early life==
Cunninghame was born in 1715 〔Oliver, p.334〕 in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, into a prosperous merchant family. He was a blood relative of Andrew Cochrane of Brighouse (1693-1777), who was one of Glasgow's most respected Lord Provosts. Family ties were of great importance in helping to build Cunninghame's growing fortune.〔(The Glasgow Story ) Retrieved June 2012〕
