THIS notable worthy was considered the most eminent of “the Men” in the far north of Scotland during the early part of the nineteenth century—a very rich time in living piety. He did not shine as a public speaker like Alexander Gair, but his mental gifts were otherwise great, and his spiritual experience was very profound. He was a man of great weight and influence, though at times his judgments were hasty and extreme. One remarked regarding him that when another eminent worthy could not rule a parish, John Grant could rule a kingdom. His nearness to the Lord at a throne of grace was proven by many answers to prayer and many intimations of God’s mind with regard to coming events, which he received. To get a full account of him and other worthies, our readers must consult the “Ministers and Men in the Far North,” by the late Rev. Alexander Auld. John Grant died at Brubster, Reay, on the 26th May, 1829, aged seventy-seven years.
