Donald (1866-1945) was a son of John Morrison and Mary Mackay, 9a Calbost.
At Fraserburgh, in 1895, he married Peggy Macinnes, 2 Lemreway. Donald and Peggy were Cottars at 9a Calbost and they had eleven children. At that time there were six other families living on the croft.
Donald Morrison and his brother Neil Morrison were among the five raiders from Calbost that land raided Steimreway in 1922. After the accident that resulted in the drowning of the two young sons of Donald and Neil, four of the five Calbost land raiders withdrew but Donald Morrison's family built a new house and settled in Steimreway in 1923.
