Born in Ayton, Berwickshire, Cairns was deeply committed to both education and ministry from an early age. He pursued his studies at the University of Edinburgh, where he developed a strong foundation in theology and philosophy, setting the stage for his future contributions to the religious and academic spheres. Cairns became a prominent figure in the United Presbyterian Church, known for his eloquent preaching, intellectual rigor, and compassionate pastoral care. His theological work was marked by a deep commitment to Christian principles, with a focus on moral and ethical issues, which he believed were central to both personal faith and social progress. In 1869, Cairns was appointed as Principal of the United Presbyterian College in Edinburgh, where he played a crucial role in shaping the education of future ministers and advancing theological scholarship. Throughout his life, Cairns was a vocal advocate for religious reform and social justice, using his influence to address pressing issues of his time.
