Although Morton is from Ulster, the label is devoted almost purely to acoustic Scottish traditional music.
Morton worked as a producer for Topic Records.
[1] One of the earliest signings was The Battlefield Band, who rapidly rose to international fame.
The success of the Battlefield Band in America prompted Morton to set up Temple US Records in the mid-1980s.
The Scottish Gaelic "supergroup" Mac-Talla, formed in 1992 at Morton's suggestion, was composed wholly of the label's artists.
