Remained as a courtier for nearly a decade and returned to Scotland when he saw no future at court. Knighted (1616). Admitted to privy council of Scotland (1617) and began long administrative career in Scotland. Despite absence from court continued to enjoy royal favour under Charles I. Created Lord in 1627.
