  Robert Burns Country: The Burns Encyclopedia: Cunningham, Alexander (d 1812)
A nephew of Principal William Robertson, the historian, Alexander Cunningham was the eldest son of James Cunningham of Hyndhope.
Cunningham's chambers were in St James's Square, where the poet lodged for a time with William Cruikshank, so the neighbourly proximity may equally possibly have given rise to the friendship.
July, Burns sent Cunningham a song 'Here's a Health to Ane I lo'e dear', with a mention of his plan to get Excise promotion, an event as we know, which was only frustrated by his death.
