About Gordon Murray
Lived 1927 – 2015 (aged 87–88). Gordon Murray was a British politician.
Gordon Stewart Murray (1927 – 1 February 2015) was a Scottish nationalist politician.
Education Gordon Murray studied at Aberdeen Grammar School before becoming a civil engineer and also maintaining a croft. He joined the Scottish National Party at the age of 15, and was elected to Dumbarton County Council in 1967. He subsequently served on Cumbernauld Burgh Council, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth District Council, Strathclyde Regional Council and, lastly, North Lanarkshire Council. For much of this time, he served as Provost of Cumbernauld.
In 2003, Murray left the SNP group on the council, along with his wife, Margaret, in protest at Andrew Wilson being placed well down the party's list for Central Scotland, and their belief that the SNP group on the council paid insufficient attention to Cumbernauld.
