Hugh Murnin
Hugh Murnin (1865–1932) born Bathgate was a Scottish politician, Labour MP for Stirling and Falkirk Burghs from 1922 to 1923, and from 1924 to 1931.
Murnin left elementary school aged nine, entered the mines,[1] and worked his way up to become a leader of the Scottish miners.
A Roman Catholic, Murnin apparently suggested the formation of a centrist Scottish Catholic party in 1912.[2] Like Joseph Sullivan (1866–1935), another Catholic miner, Murnin first managed to be elected to Parliament in 1922.[3]
