Background
Elibank was the son of Reverend Gideon Murray, younger son of Alexander Murray, 4th Lord Elibank. His mother was Elizabeth, daughter of General David Montolieu, Baron de Street Hypolite, while Patrick Murray, 5th Lord Elibank was his paternal uncle.
Career
Elibank was returned to Parliament for Peeblesshire in 1783, a seat he held until 1784. However, as this was a Scottish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. He also served as Lord Lieutenant of Peeblesshire between 1794 and 1820.
Lord Elibank was twice married.
Membership
