Herbert Morton

Herbert William Morton (1887 to 1961) was a Scottish international lawn bowler. Away from the green he worked as a cinema director in Ayrshire: he lived in Cumnock, ran the Cumnock Picture House, and by 1953 owned two cinemas in Old Cumnock and Auchinleck, while also serving as a director of the Ayrshire Bowling Association. He was a member of the Lugar Works Bowling and Social Club. Morton represented the Scottish team at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, Canada, where he took part in the fours event alongside Finlay McIver, George Budge and John Carswell and finished in tenth place.
