Robert Kerr was born in Roxburghshire, with sources giving his birth year as either 1755 or 1757. A citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, he was educated at the University of Edinburgh.

He also compiled the substantial work A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels, a further demonstration of his range as a writer and historian.
