10th Duke George ‘Wee Ian’ MurrayJune 19, 1931 – February 27, 1996 Murray was the only surviving child of Lieutenant-Colonel George Anthony Murray (1907–1945), who was killed in action in the Second World War, and the Honourable Angela, daughter of Weetman Pearson, 2nd Viscount Cowdray. He attended both Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, before succeeding the 9th duke, his fourth cousin twice removed, as Duke of Atholl in 1957. He inherited an estate of approximately 120,000 acres. Under his stewardship, the estate in and around Blair Castle became a significant area for forestry, on which he was an acknowledged expert and spoke many times in the House of Lords, and tourism, having been elected a Scottish Representative Peer in 1958. In addition, he resurrected the Atholl Highlanders, the ceremonial private army of the dukedom. He was an active member of the Conservative Monday Club. The death of the 6-foot-5-inch duke known affectionately as 'Wee Iain' came a day after it was announced that he had placed the 120-room castle and much of the surrounding estate's 140,000 acres into a charitable trust, a step that will save millions in inheritance taxes and guarantee that the historic property will remain under Scottish control. Under his stewardship, the estate became one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions, drawing some 165,000 paying visitors a year. To help bolster its appeal the duke had even reactivated the long-dormant Atholl Highlanders, an 80-man private army that the Dukes of Atholl have been authorized to maintain since 1845. Atholl died unmarried in February 1996, aged 64, with the titles passing to his second cousin once removed, John Murray.

'Rocky' Clinton - Pipe SergeantMay 30, 1949 - October 13, 2009 CLINTON, Robert, Jr. ROBERT HAROLD CLINTON, JR. Robert Harold Clinton, Jr., of Lilburn, Ga., died Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Born in Los Angeles, CA., May 30, 1949, to Robert, Sr., and Marguerite Clinton, Rocky meant the world to his family and was loved by many. He was a devout man of God, a faithful Christian and a man of sound character. We celebrate a life that was well lived, but yes, he will be truly missed. Rocky served in the U.S. Navy as a Cryptologic Technician and in Naval Intelligence. He earned his bachelors degree in business from the University of Georgia in 1976. He later became a commissioned officer in the U. S. Navy. He retired from the Navy in October 1998 as a Lt. Commander having served his country for 23 years. Rocky loved music. In May of 2000, he began piping in the Atholl Highlanders Pipes and Drums. He became a Pipe Sergeant in 2005. He also served as the cantor at St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church for four years. Rocky is survived by his loving wife, Vicky and four children, Robert Harold Clinton, III (Rob) and his wife, Cheryl of Dacula, Richard Thomas Clinton (Tommy) and his wife, Amber of Bethlehem, Russell Lamar Clinton and his fiance, Alice of Chamblee and Lisa Marie Erwin and her husband, Alex of Tucker. He is also survived by his seven beloved grandchildren. A Funeral Mass was held Saturday, October 17, 2009, at 1 pm in St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church, 5373 Wydella Rd., Lilburn, GA. 30047.

'Kit' MurrayJanuary 21, 1971 - April 7, 2010Janet Lee'Kit' Murray, 38 of Gainesville (Forsyth County) died Wednesday April 7, 2010 at her residence. Remembrances: Always intense about her drumming, the Band, and art, she always had a quick smile to give. My favorite story is one that involved Don Bogue, our Drum major at that time. He asked her to create a business card for himself. She created a beautiful one that involved intricate mouse skills and time on multiple images. She produced a beautiful card that showed the 'drummie' in front of a piper, overlooking a Scottish sea cliff. "How do you like it?" she asked Don. "Remove the piper." was all he said. We used to laugh a lot about it since it was a testament to our 'drummies' ego. All that work she had put into it, ahh, well. Just that February in 2010, at the Burns Supper, she had asked to borrow my elf ears, prosthetic latex ears attached with spirit gum, just to do something a bit crazy and fun. Marissa, my daughter, and I applied them and Kit wore them throughout the supper. She looked so Elfin. We had a last meal together after the St. Patrick's Day parade in 2010 at Waikikie Hawaiian restaurant. It was Kit's idea. Some band members that followed the group she had requested to attend were a bit clueless as to what was going on but the rest of us knew, based on her dwindling energy, that it was farewell. It was indicative of her attitude and courage: I want to be with the band and have a good time too! She was always fighting the cancer until she found out that there was no 'cure', no recovery. The doctors were playing a delaying strategy. It was all end game. She then faced death on her own terms, with John Murray by her side all the way. I miss her, I miss her dreams for the drum corps and I miss the team she made with John. I believe that there is a new star in the sky and it drums with a steady rhythm. - Pipe Major Evan Kohler-Camp

Berkeley StrobelMay 18, 1939 - Dec 30, 2011 (Age 72) I think these remembrances by Barbara Pinson and Jerry Cannon, say it best:
11th Duke John MurrayJanuary 19, 1929 - May 15, 2012 (aged 83) John Murray, who has died at 83, was enjoying a quiet retirement in the mountain hamlet of Haernertsburg in Limpopo when he was informed in 1996 that he'd inherited one of Scotland's grandest titles and was now the 11th Duke of Atholl.A reserved and unassuming man who was born in South Africa, worked all his adult life as a land surveyor and wanted nothing more than to pursue his passion for hiking in the local mountains, he found the news mildly disconcerting. He might have Scottish blood in his veins but he didn't feel remotely Scottish, the title meant nothing to him and he had no intention of moving to Scotland. "I am a South African, not a Scotsman. My heart and my mind are in this country," he said. He knew that he was related to the 3rd Duke of Atholl, who died in 1805, and that he was next in line should anything happen to the 10th duke. But he was several years older than his distant cousin, a 1.95m giant known as "Wee Iain" whom he'd met in 1993, and confidently expected to predecease him. From a material point of view, there was very little in it for Murray. The 8th duke had begun selling off large chunks of the Atholl estate to pay crippling death duties, but in spite of this, it was on the brink of bankruptcy when the 10th duke's grandmother, who headed a wealthy printing house, bought it and it became private property separate from the title. Blair Atholl, the 13th-century castle which his ancestors had called home since the title was created in 1703, had been put into a charitable trust. The south wing was occupied by the 10th duke's half-sister, who owned and managed the estate, while the rest of the castle was a museum open to the public. Murray reluctantly accepted the title, knowing that if he did not, it would become extinct. His most important obligation was taking the salute at the annual parade of the Atholl Highlanders, the duke's 85-strong private army created with the permission of Queen Victoria after a visit to Blair Atholl in 1844. He found himself colonel-in-chief of this fully constituted regiment of the British army without any military background at all. "Am I doing the right thing?" he would ask his officers. "You're the duke," he was told, "you can do what you like." He was born in Johannesburg on January 19 1929, the son of an army major who survived the Battle of the Somme in World War 1. He went to Michaelhouse and qualified as a land surveyor at the University of the Witwatersrand. He lived in a modest bungalow, drove an old Merc and a Nissan bakkie, and kept quiet about his title. Most of his fellow villagers learnt who he was only when they attended his funeral. He is survived by his widow, Peggy, and three children, including his eldest son, Bruce, the 12th duke, who owns a company that makes signs and rubber stamps.
