Hugh Murray (geographer)
Hugh Murray (1779–1846) was a Scottish geographer.
==Life==
He was the younger son of Matthew Murray (1735–1791), minister of North Berwick, and grandson of George Murray (d. 1757), who had held the same post. His elder brother, George (1772–1822), was also minister of North Berwick from 1795 till his death. His mother was daughter of John Hill, minister of St. Andrews, and sister of Henry David Hill, professor at St. Andrews.
Murray entered the Edinburgh excise office as a clerk. On 22 January 1816 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He was for a time editor of the ''Scots Magazine'', and was a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London. His connection with Archibald Constable's ''Edinburgh Gazetteer'' caused him to figure in the Tory squib, written by James Hogg and others, called ''Translation from an Ancient Chaldee MS.'', which appeared in ''Blackwood's Magazine'' for October 1817.〔
Murray died after a short illness, while on a visit to London, in Wardrobe Place, Doctors' Commons, on 4 March 1846.〔
