Description
John Cairns wrote a life of his namesake for the Famous Scots Series, following a Berwickshire farm boy from Ayton Hill to the head of a Scottish college. John Cairns was born at Ayton Hill in the parish of Ayton on August 23, 1818, on a farm that later vanished.
Chapters trace his schooldays at Dunglass, his college years, his training in theology, and his work as minister, professor, and principal. One chapter calls him an apostle of union for his church work. Readers get a full Victorian life of study, preaching, and teaching in Scotland.
