William Murray, 2nd Earl of Tullibardine

Lady Anne Clifford wrote that in July 1603, "Now was the Master of Orkney and the Lord Tullibardine much in love in Mrs Cary and came thither [to Norbury, where they were isolated because of illness] to see us with George Murray in their company who was one of the King's bedchamber.

"[3] In 1608 he plotted with his brother-in-law John Grant of Freuchie and Mr James Stewart, Commissary of Dunkeld, to help the Earl of Atholl escape from Edinburgh Castle.

[5] On 14 March 1617 King James wrote to him from Whitehall Palace requesting his help preparing for his visit to Scotland.

James wanted capercaillies and ptarmigans sent to Durham and to other stops on his way to Berwick-upon-Tweed, as examples of rare and precious Scottish cuisine.

It has been suggested that a sonnet by the king, Nocht Orientall Christall Streemes, was addressed to Cecilia.
