Morrison's Academy is a co-educational private day school in Crieff, Perth and Kinross, in Central Scotland.

He made his fortune as the builder of a substantial part of the city's beautiful Georgian New Town (the sections north of Queen Street).

And he continues, "although I do not wish to confine this object to a particular place, yet I have regard in my views to the part of the country where I was born, and to the city of Edinburgh, where I long resided and acquired my fortune."

He finishes by saying, "I rather incline to point at a new institution which may bear my name and preserve the remembrance of my good intentions for the welfare and happiness of my fellowmen".

After years of searching for a suitable location, his trustees decided on Crieff, near to where Morison was born, rather than Edinburgh which was already well-served with schools.
