What is recorded here
Cultra in County Down, Ireland, is the birthplace of Hugh Cairns, 1st Earl Cairns. The small place gave its name to a British earldom and put a local man into national politics. That is why Cultra still matters: it is where a regional family became visible in a much larger world.
Why this person is known: British statesman who served as Lord Chancellor of Great Britain (1819–1885)
