"Beauly; death of a Crimean veteran," Inverness Courier, Nov. 14, 1905, p. 4e.   "On Sabbath there passed away after a long illness, a well known resident of Beauly, Colour-Sergeant James Morrison. A native of the district, he, in his eighteenth year joined the Ninety-third Highlanders, and took part in the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny. In the famous "thin red line" he occupied the position of second right hand man; he took part in many stirring engagements in the Crimea, and held the Alma, Inkerman, and Balaklava clasps, and the Crimean and Turkish Medals. On the outbreak of the Indian Mutiny, the regiment proceeded to India, and Sergent Morrison again saw much active service. On one occasion he was among the first to enter the breach, and for his valour was complimented twice. At the conclusion of the war Morrison returned to the Highlands, and joined the staff of the Ross-shire Militia stationed at Dingwall, where he resided for several years. He was a tall, powerful looking man of commanding appearance, and, although seventy-four years of age, he bore to the last the military presence. Some years ago he returned to his native place, and conducted a coal merchant's business in Beauly. He possessed sterling qualities and was respected by all who knew him. The funeral, which it is expected will be military, takes place on Thursday."
