The Murray

More about the book

Here is recounted the stirring history of the Clan Murray from its beginnings in the mists of medieval Caledonian history down to the present time. The clan's turbulent exploits spanned the bloodthirsty, feuding saga of Scotland's history and the dramatic tales here retold recall dashing Highland charges, brutal battles, breathless chases and deadly duels. The Murrays were a leading family in their base in Central Scotland from the days of William "Braveheart" Wallace and formed the backbone of many armies, their most famous member being Bonnie Prince Charlie's military supremo during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. Here is recounted the clan's vivid history in all its colourful detail. This little book contains, where available, the clan motto, crest and tartan, in addition to the history of the name.
