A lawyer and a Writer to the Signet, he was elected at the 1900 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Banffshire,[2] and was re-elected in 1906. However he died in December that year from injuries received in a railway accident at Elliot Junction,[3] forcing a by-election early in 1907.[2]

In later life he is listed as living at 5 Learmonth Terrace in western Edinburgh.[4]

He is buried near his home, in the north section of Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh towards the south-west corner of the north section. He is buried with his wife Ellinor (1885–1918), some 26 years his junior.
