About this listen

The story of Alexander Murray's short life is a fascinating one; raised as a Shepherd's boy in the Galloway Hills and with little formal education he taught himself not just to read but to read and understand foreign languages, eventually becoming a Professor at Edinburgh University before his death in 1813 aged just 37. Hear more about his life - and death - in this podcast.
