Their Story
Adam Murray was a Castleton man through and through, born in 1728 and living out his days in Roxburghshire until 1816. He and his wife Elizabeth Beattie raised a son, John, who later settled at Langshawburn and whose own daughter, Jean Murray Telfer, carries the Murray line into the Telfer story. Adam's life is quietly memorialised at Eskdalemuir Churchyard, where his name shares the same headstone as his son John's—a simple stone marking generations of one Borders family.
