Earl of Dunmore is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. Charles Adolphus Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore VD (24 March 1841 – 27 August 1907), styled Viscount Fincastle from birth until 1845, was a Scottish peer, Conservative politician, explorer, author, and artist. He traveled to North America to observe the American Civil War with a number of other British officers. He then traveled at least as far as Manitoba and painted a number of watercolors across the United States and Canada. In 1874, he was appointed a Lord-in-waiting in Disraeli's government, a post he held until 1880. In 1875, he was made Lord Lieutenant of Stirlingshire, which he remained until 1885. In 1882 he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the 1st Inverness-shire Rifle Volunteers (later the 1st Volunteer Battalion, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders). He retired in 1896. In 1892–93 he traveled through the eastern Pamirs to Kashgar. He was engaged in some form of diplomacy or espionage but the matter is not clear. Excerpt from The Revelation of Christianus and Other Christian Science Poems ; Here has come in the midst of human strife A doctrine from heaven above, Which teaches that God is the only life, And life is both truth and love. This doctrine, when new to the world at large, Was the oldest of Christian word, 'twas our Master's precept, our Master's charge. Condition: Good.
