JohnMurray, 1st Marquess and 2nd Earl of Atholl KT (May 2 1631–May 6 1703) was a leading Scottish royalist and defender of the Stuarts during the English Civil War of the 1640s, until after the rise to power of William and Mary in 1689.
In 1660, Murray became a privy councillor, obtained a charter of the hereditary office of sheriff of Fife and in 1663 was appointed Lord President of the Court of Session.
Murray showed to be lukewarm to the accession of William III, though allowed his troops to be used at Killiecrankie against the supporters of the new king and was knighted in 1687.
