John Morrison, 2nd Viscount Dunrossil

Flight Lieutenant John William Morrison, 2nd Viscount Dunrossil CMG JP (22 May 1926 – 22 March 2000) was a British diplomat.

While in South Africa he supported Nelson Mandela during his imprisonment by helping him gain a law degree from the University of London.

His time in Bermuda was very successful mainly, as John Ure argues, due to his "genial temperament" and "social standing" meaning that he was able to settle the troubles of the region that had preceded his appointment.

He was appointed Lord Lieutenant of the Western Isles in 1993, holding this post until his death on holiday from a heart attack in Lanzarote in 2000.

[2] He divorced his first wife in 1969 and remarried the same year to Diana Mary Cunliffe Vise who became Viscountess Dunrossil upon their marriage.
