Scottish lawyer and judge, William Murray, 3rd son of the 4th Viscount of Stormont, was created the 1st Earl of
Mansfield under two seperate titles in 1776 and 1792. The current Earl of Mansfield, William David Mungo James
Murray, represented Perth in the House of Commons and held office under Margaret Thatcher as a Minister of
State at the Scottish Office from 1979 to 1983 and at the Northern Ireland office from 1983 to 1984.
He is also Viscount Stormont, Lord Scone and Lord Balvaird and holds the titles of Earl of Dunbar, Viscount of
Drumcairn and Lord Halldykes. The family seat is Scone Palace in Perthshire.
The recommended music for this dance is “The Earl of Mansfield’s March” by John McEwan.
