LORD GEORGE MURRAY (1694-1760), Scottish Jacobite general, fifth son of John, 1st duke of Atholl, by his first wife, Catherine, daughter of the 3rd duke of Hamilton, was born at Huntingtower, near Perth, on the 4th of October 1694.
In 1719 Murray took part in the Jacobite attempt in conjunction with the Spaniards in the western highlands, under the command of Tullibardine and the earl marichal, which terminated in "the affair of Glenshiel" on the 10th of June, when he was wounded while commanding the right wing of the Jacobites.
The duke of Atholl died in 1724 and was succeeded in the title by his second son James, owing to the attainder of Tullibardine; and Lord George leased from his brother the old family property of Tullibardine in Strathearn, where he lived till 1745.
