Bishop William Lamberton
William De Lamberton was the Bishop of St.Andrews during the period
known as the Scottish Wars of Independence. Although some sources
record him as being from the borders area near Berwick, others
state that he came originally from the Barony of Kilmaurs in
Ayrshire. An area known as Lambroughton still exists in Kilmaurs.
If Lamberton came from a noble family from the Kilmaurs area, his
surname would most probably have been Cunninghame.
