Alexander Murray (1775 - 1813) was a local shepherd boy who later became Professor of Oriental Languages at Edinburgh University. This walk leads to the remains of Dunkitterick Cottage, Murray's birthplace, (NX 5022 7173) which is also near Murray's Monument. Dunkitterick Cottage is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and for this reason there is no surfaced path on the area of land surrounding the cottage. The approach to the cottage, however, is laid in slate and offers a reasonable level of access. Several moderate gradients were encountered along the route.
