Alexander Cannon (1640 – 1708) was a Scottish professional soldier in the second half of the 17th century, who served in the armies of William of Orange and James VII and II. He remained loyal to James at the 1688 Glorious Revolution, accompanied him into exile and was appointed Major-General of Jacobite forces in Scotland after the death of Viscount Dundee in July 1689. He was replaced by Thomas Buchan in early 1690 but served as his subordinate until both were given safe passage to France in 1692. Little is known of his later career; he was mentioned as still being in Jacobite service in 1708 and died sometime after that. rdf:langString
