- Name
- James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl
- Biography
- Lord of Mann from 1736 to 1765, the last private holder of the title. Governed largely from a distance, visiting the island rarely. His acceptance of Parliament's forced purchase in 1765 ended three and a half centuries of feudal lordship. The purchase price of £70,000 — negotiated under duress — was widely regarded as inadequate.
