Old photograph of a church and houses on Station Road in St Cyrus, Scottish Gaelic: Eaglais Chiric, located in Southern Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Alexander Keith was ordained by the Church of Scotland as minister of St. Cyrus in 1816, remaining there until 1839. He was the son of George Skene Keith of Keith Hall and Kinkell, where he was born at the manse on 13 November 1792. He graduated M.A. at Marischal College, in Aberdeen in 1809. At the Disruption of 1843, Keith left the established Church of Scotland and joined the Free Church of Scotland. Keith is probably best remembered for his book, Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion Derived from the Literal Fulfillment of Prophecy, which has gone through numerous revisions and many editions. He died in Buxton, Derbyshire, England, on the 8th of February 1880, and was buried, at his own request, in the graveyard at Chinley Chapel.
