Keith Medal

The Keith Medal is a prize awarded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland's national academy, for a scientific paper published in the society's scientific journals, preference being given to a paper containing a discovery, either in mathematics or earth sciences.

The medal was inaugurated in 1827 as a result of a gift from the society's first treasurer, Alexander Keith.
