Murray's Monument

Monument erected in the memory of Alexander Murray, son of a shepherd, who became a professor of Oriental Languages at Edinburgh University in 1812 and died the following year at the age of 37.

A steep path leads up from the Grey Mares Tail/Murray's Monument car park to the obelisk for the fine views. To the east of Craigdews are the remains of Dunkitterick Cottage, Murray's birthplace.
