Bio Notes: Frederick Alistair Morrison was born on 1 March 1909 and was articled to Maclaren Soutar Salmond of Dundee from 1928 to 1930. He continued his apprenticeship in the office of Maclennan & Cunningham in Edinburgh from 1931 to 1934. He passed the qualifying exam in Edinburgh on 17 June 1936 and was admitted ARIBA on 10 May the following year, his proposers being Frank Charles Mears, James Inch Morrison and Thomas Forbes Maclennan, who wrote in his supporting statement: 'I found him very keen and capable and that I could entrust him with much more responsible work than usually falls to the lot of a junior.' His nomination papers state that he had been awarded travelling scholarships which enabled him to visit Holland in 1934, Sweden in 1935 and Britain and France in 1936, the latter for the purposes of studying town planning. He was also an Associate of the Edinburgh Architectural Association.

Morrison retired in June 1969, and was living at Charlton Hovethorne, Sherborne, Dorset in 1970 when he resigned his RIBA membership. Morrison died in 1971 at Yeovil. His death was registered between April and June of that year.
