First Lord Reay. Justice of the peace for Inverness-shire and Cromarty (1610), then commissioner of peace for Sutherland. The majority of his army career was spent in the service of Danish-Norwegian and Swedish armies. Lord Reay was a staunch royalist. Was made a peer of Scotland (1628). Appears to have spent time in Enlgnad in the 1630s with various personal and political affairs. Imprisoned in Tower of London (1631). During British civil wars fought at Newcastle (1644) until taken prisoner and imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle. Reay died abroad but was buried at Kirkiboll church at Tongue in Strathnaver.
