Active as commissioner for union with England (1702 and 1706), using legal expertise to draw up treaty - one of the signatories. Gained him attendance at first Parliament of Great Britain.
MP for Haddington Burghs (1708-21). Ill-health prevented regular attendance, though tended to reside in London. Persecution by the Tories led to great co-operation with the Whigs. Retired from office (1720), dying the following year.
