James Murray (Scottish politician)

James Murray (19 Sep 1850 – 12 Apr 1932)[1] was a Scottish Liberal Party politician.

He was elected unopposed[2] as the Member of Parliament for East Aberdeenshire at a by-election in 1906,[3] following the death of the Liberal MP James Annand, who had held the seat for only 16 days. He held the seat until the January 1910 general election,[1] when he did not stand again.[2]

He was knighted in 1915.[1]
