He was born at Midleton , County Cork , the son of John Morrison, also an architect.

Morrison designed a number of works with his son, William Vitruvius Morrison , including: Baronscourt, near Newtownstewart in County Tyrone (from 1835); Killruddery House, near Bray in County Wicklow ; Ballyfin , just north of Mountrath in County Laois ; and Fota , near Cork in County Cork .[3] Knockdrin Castle , just north of Mullingar in County Westmeath .
A prominent work was his Gothic fantasy 1819 remodelling of Shelton Abbey, Arklow , County Wicklow .[1]
