    [Partial Extract] On the 4 February 1479 Craigends was granted to William Cuninghame. William was the second son of the Earl of Glencairn and his entitlement created a new branch in the influential Cuninghame family of Ayrshire: the Cuninghames of Craigends.

    Map of CraigendsHis father granted William an annual rent of 15 merks from the lands of Walterston in Kilbarchany. On 4 February 1479 he was also granted a charter of the lands of Craiganys (Craigends) in the Lordship of Ranfurly. He married for a second time in 1496, and the marriage contract laid out a number of conditions designed to provide for any children of that marriage: 'Craigends thereby obleishes him to infeft the son (if any be) of the marriage in six mks. worth of land of auld extent called Bartanholm, and otherwise to pay the sowm of 1000 merks. If there be no son, but daughters, then to pay only the sowm of 300 mks.'
    William had a charter of Robertland on 10 July 1506, which was confirmed by James IV in 1510. He was killed fighting for Scotland when king James IV broke his alliance with Henry VIII and invaded England; James IV and many of his noblemen were also killed.
