Malcolm Murray, 12th Earl of Dunmore

Malcolm Kenneth Murray, 12th Earl of Dunmore (born 17 September 1946 in Launceston, Tasmania) is an Australia-based Scottish peer who is a native-born Australian and lives in Tasmania.[1][2] As well as holding the Earldom of Dunmore, Murray is also the Viscount of Fincastle and Lord of Blair, Moulin and Tillimet.[2][3]

Murray inherited the earldom from his father, the 11th Earl who died in 1995.[2] The earldom first came to Australia when his uncle, the 9th Earl moved to Tasmania in 1942.[4] The title had passed to his father upon his uncle's death (who had no sons) in 1982.[2]

In 1998, he visited his ancestral home in Airth to plant a memorial tree beside the Dunmore Pineapple.[4]
