Mention is made of Andrew Strachan, Minister of Dun, in an old text:
"David Cunynghyme (Cunningham). According to Cullen's Chronicle (Miscellany, vol. ii. S.C.), he was the son of the laird [William Cunynghame] of Cunynghamehead (Ayrshire), and became, shortly before his appointment to the see, one of the ministers of Aberdeen. For his earlier appointments, minister of Monkland subdean of Glasgow, and for some events of his episcopate, see Scott's Fasti; Wodrow, Biographical Collections; and the editor's introduction (N.S.C.). He is believed by Wodrow to have received orders before the Reformation. [He had a right of some sort to the deanery of Brechin, in satisfaction of which he was granted a pension out of that benefice in March, 1560-1 (Register of Deeds, MS. in Reg. House, V. 1 12 ff.).]
In the Spottiswoode MS., cited in Russel's edition of Keith, his appointment to the bishopric is said to have been at the intercession of James, earl of Morton, whose chaplain Cunynghame had been in the time of the earl's regency. Gordon, his predecessor in the see, died 6 Aug. 1577. Confirmation by the king of Cunynghame's appointment 5 Oct. 1577. He was 'consecrated' on Monday, 11 Nov. 1577, in St. Nicholas Church, Aberdeen, by Master Patrick Constance (otherwise, Adamson), bishop of St. Andrews, who made the sermon. Master John Craig, minister of Aberdeen, and Master Andrew Strayquhen, minister of (Dun), in the presence of the whole congregation of Aberdeen, with others of the country present for the time (Cullen's Chronicle)."
