The Scottish Thistle

WELCOME TO THE THE MORRISON FAMILY TREE HOME OF THE SCOTTISH MORRISONS OF COMRIE AND AUCHTERAUDER ORIGINS

In the beginning...

It is just on Sunset on a warm Summer's evening, in the Year 1756.

Looking through a window from your Sitting Room, you see through the early evening mist, the breathtaking Isle of Skye across the waters, off the West Coast of Scotland.

Far away in the East, later that day in a small community called Comrie, in the parish of Perthshire, a Service is taking place in a little stone church on a clear Highland day....

The earliest known Morison in Comrie was a Donald Morison, he was a "Reader" in the church there. His descendants remained in Auchinner and spread into other nearby villages over the generations that followed.

The families were mainly sheep farmers, and their ancestors had originally migrated into Comrie from Appin and Kintyre in Argyllshire in the early 1500's. Other related families continued to migrate from those parts on into the late 1700's. Many of the families moved to other areas or migrated overseas during the upheavals of the early 1700's.

One of those families had a son named John Morison who was born about 1725 in Kingarth, Glen Lednock at Comrie in Perthshire Scotland.

John is believed to be our Direct Ancestor.
