Life.
Murray gained her MA at Edinburgh University. She then went to the University of Aberdeen, where she became a senior lecturer and eventually professor. In 1976 she married fellow academic Bob Tait. The couple "formed a pair of literary lions, hosting memorable parties and discussions at their flat for guests such as novelists Archie Hind and William McIlvanney, who became the university’s first writer in residence at their suggestion."
Murray's 2000 biography of Jessie Kesson won the National Library of Scotland / Saltire Society Scottish Research Book of the Year award.
