He practised medicine from 1699 until 1725 when he was elected Mediciner (Professor of Medicine) at King's College. He was unwilling host to his kinsman Rob Roy MacGregor during the rebellion of 1715. In 1732 he resigned in favour of his son James (1707-1755), third child of his first marriage to Catherine Forbes, and died in 1733."
