Tour Scotland photograph of the Reverend Ralph Erskine gravestone in the Abbey cemetery in Fife, Scotland. In 1711 he was appointed as Minister of the Second Charge at the famous Dunfermline Abbey and in 1716 he became Minister of the First Charge of that Church. That he was a scholar and a theologian of considerable ability can be shown by the fact that his collected Works in ten volumes passed through many editions. Gospel Sonnets, his best known work, was first published in 1734.
