Donald Murray (Scottish politician)

Donald Murray (Scottish politician)

Donald Murray (21 October 1862 – 6 July 1923)[1] was a Liberal Party politician in Scotland who served in the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Western Isles from 1918 to 1922.

Murray won the newly-created Western Isles seat at the 1918 general election, but was defeated at the 1922 general election by Sir William Cotts, a National Liberal who had stood against him in 1918 as a Coalition Liberal.[2] After his defeat, Murray did not stand again.
