Murray, who has been snapped by renowned wildlife and entertainment photographer Conor McDonnell walking through some woodland near his home in Surrey, says he was lucky to be brought up close to nature in Dunblane.
He said that going for a walk with the dog through the countryside is perfect to clear his head from any of the stresses and strains of life at the sharp end of world tennis.
He said: “I was lucky growing up in Scotland, where we were surrounded by nature.
“I know from my travels around the world, that not everybody has that easy access to the countryside.
