Political career
At the May 1999 election to the 1st Scottish Parliament, Morrison was elected as the MSP for the Western Isles. He served as Deputy Minister for Highlands and Islands and Gaelic and as Deputy Minister for Enterprise & Lifelong Learning and Gaelic in the Scottish Executive until November 2001. He was a member of the Environment and Rural Development Committee. He was re-elected at the 2003.
He lost his seat in the 2007 election to Alasdair Allan of the Scottish National Party
In May 2006, he was accused of a conflict of interest after raising questions in Holyrood to help the Scottish Golf Union, who at the time were represented by a firm run by Morrison's brother.
In May 2025, Morrison stood for selection as Labour's candidate for the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. Davy Russell was narrowly selected by just two votes ahead of Suzanne Macleod, a member of Labour's Scottish Executive Committee. The outcome was attributed to Morrison encouraging members at the final selection meeting to support Russell instead of himself.
