In Novemberv 1763 he is noted as living in the Jock's Lodge area of Edinburgh and was the first point of contact after the post-boy was mugged and robbed of his horse and mailbags.[3]

He was Commissioner for Forfeited Estates in 1769, as Deputy Governor of the Royal Bank of Scotland (1776–), and as a member of the Board of Trustees for Manufactures & Fisheries (1777–).

In 1775 he is listed as living at Jock's Lodge to the east of Edinburgh.[4] He moved to St Andrew Square in the 1780s, as soon as the houses were built.[5]

In 1783 he was a founding Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

He died at St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, on 1 July 1793. His position as Senator was filled by William Baillie, Lord Polkemmet. He was buried in Restalrig Churchyard in eastern Edinburgh on 5 July.[6]
