 Literary Encyclopedia: Charles Murray
Charles Murray is the leading figure in the development of the North-East dialect of Scots as a literary medium; and by extension, a major influence in the recovery of confidence in Scots as a poetic language which set the scene for the Scottish Renaissance of the 1920s.
Murray's father, a joiner by trade, had a high local reputation for his skill in reciting dialect poetry, including his own writings; and Murray, in his boyhood, absorbed the full range and vitality of this remarkable folk-culture.
Murray's Doric poetry was his personal contribution to a major literary movement, by no means restricted to Scotland, rooted in a desire to preserve or at the very least to commemorate the old ways of life and of speech which the modern world seemed set to overwhelm.

When it comes to Charles Murray, no news is good news.
Using a measure called "historiometry" (which essentially measures the number of references to great people and discoveries in relatively neutral texts), Murray offers what he claims is objective evidence that in the history of human progress, the most credit—about 97 percent, in fact—is owed to … the West, much of that thanks to Christianity.
Despite his claims of objectivity and science, and despite his claims of openness to other—particularly Asian—cultures, Murray knew well in advance what his results would be.
