Scottish Catholics mourn Bishop Murray
Tributes have been paid to the Right Reverend Ian Murray, Bishop Emeritus of Argyll and the Isles, who died on Friday. He was 83.
“On behalf of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland I would like to offer Bishop Murray’s family our deepest and most prayerful sympathies,” Archbishop Philip Tartaglia of Glasgow, president of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland, said. “During his active years as a bishop, Ian Murray played a full part in the life and work of the Bishops’ Conference contributing with humanity, faith and humour to everything that we did. He will be sorely missed. May God rest his generous soul.”
Originally a priest of St Andrews and Edinburgh Archdiocese, he also spent spells as vice-rector and rector of the Royal Scots College in Valladolid, and over saw its move to Salamanca.
In 1999 Ian Murray was nominated the 9th Bishop of Argyll and the Isles and ordained on 7 December, the feast of St Ambrose, Patron of the Royal Scots College. He retired in December 2008.
Details of the late bishop’s funeral have yet to released.
