Nadira and I (supported by Cameron, Emily and Jamie) are delighted to announce the arrival this afternoon of our new son Oscar John Murray. In the best family tradition he milked his appearance, spinning it out for over 48 hours and making it as dramatic as possible. But happily both Oscar and Nadira are now doing very well. I shall see what Nadira thinks on posting a picture, tomorrow after she has rested. I am a very proud father and shall now have a quiet Lagavulin.
It has become a cliche to thank NHS staff endlessly, but we owe the most genuine and heartfelt thanks to the staff at the maternity unit of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, who were simply wonderful, and extraordinarily kind and dedicated.
Craig Murray,
Serves well to remind me, at my advancing age of the last conversation had with my girlfriend:-
Diane: ” Courtenay, I am in the mood – are you willing?”
Courtenay: ” Wrong question ol’ girl – the real question is whether or not I am still able at my advancing age – able.”
Clearly Murray – you are a younger man than I am – so heartfelt congratulations on your accomplishment and handsome achievement – sent from me way over here in the Caribbean.
Congratulations to all of you!
Congratulations! I didn’t know it was in prospect.
Congratulations
Sounds like Oscar deserves a Bafta – congratulations to you all!
Best wishes to the new sprout, his mother, the proud father and sibling. How wonderful to see that life continues, despite all the issues you are involved in. May you, and your family navigate these troubled times, and may this young man grow up to proudly carry the torch of his parents and grand parents.
Congratulations to you and your family. My advice is pass Oscar around among the family and try and get as much sleep as you can – I think it is just joy that keeps you going with a bairn.
Congratulations.
Congratulations and blessings to you and your family. Your news is ray of sunshine in these dark times
Great news Craig
So happy for the Three of you.. Cameron becomes a big Brother. Good that Nadira and Oscar are well
A wee Dram might be in Order.
Congratulations! Wonderful news…
Congratulations, young man! (Well, you’re a lot younger than I am, anyway…) And even more congratulations to the amazing Nadira!

Never despair. There is always hope (and little babies).
