I believe that Christina's birth was registered as Christina Kitty Milne in Malling, Kent iOct - Dec 1872. Her mother's maiden name was Faver.

Her parents were James Milne and Eliza Faver ( Favier in marriage index). Marriage 5 Sep 1863 in Blackmore, Essex.

Thank you for everyones help, really helpful.

If you go to Scotland's People and purchase the marriage and death records  for Alexander they should give his parents names.

From the information provided by Neale61 there is a high possibility that Alexander was illegitimate.

In your initial post you refer to George Herriot and Catherine Campbell as being possible parents. There is no evidence that they married but it is of note that the Catherine Campbell referred to by Neale is an unmarried servant in the parish of Dirleton in the 1871 census. Living in the same parish in 1871 is a George Herriot  , born about 1840 and a widower. Both George Herriot and Catherine Campbell went on to marry other people. There is a death ėn the parish of Aberlady for George ( surname transcribed as Heriot) in 1887.

Alexander appears to have been illegitimate. This indicates his parents were not married.
As already advised several times, you need to look at his marriage certificate to see if he names a father, and who.
