David Smith Cairns, a Famous Theologian

The Hawick Heritage Hub has an interesting blog about David Smith Cairns, who grew up in Stichill and went to Ednam school from 1873 to 1876, when he was almost 14 years old.
He became Master of Christ’s College, Aberdeen and Professor of Apologetics and Systematic Theology.
He and his brother, William, were the sons of David Cairns, the minister of Stichill United Presbyterian Church.
Christ’s College, Aberdeen was a college founded by the Free Church of Scotland but is now part of the University of Aberdeen's School of Divinity.
