Not necessarily a blood relation to all the children she looks after, Granny Murray is called Granny Murray by all who know her. This is not because she comes over as a particularly ancient person - in fact she is a very stylish and has a very youthful outlook and is full of surprises. She is 'Granny' because she looks after and cares for so many and gives the impression that she has lived an extremely interesting and varied life. Her secret is that she is a very good listener.
What is surprising about Granny Murray is that she has seldom travelled beyond the city boundaries and that all her knowledge of life has come about from all the fascinating, diverse, and famous people she has met through her life. A lot of the people she met were through her late husband Angus who had his dance band 'The Merry Monks' who played all around the city. Granny Murray herself was a window dresser at Nicholson's - a grand old store on the high street where she acquired much of her outrageous style and again met with many people from all walks of life. When she retired from her job at Nicholson's, Granny Murray trained as a nursery nurse and then registered as a childminder.
