| He was employed during the years 1564 and 1565 in travelling between Scotland and France on behalf of the Earl of Bothwell, who had been expelled the kingdom, but after the murder of Darnley he became the Earl's determined enemy. On account of his affixing 'certaine payntit paperis' on the door of the Tolbootli of Edinburgh denouncing Bothwell and others, the Privy Council issued orders to prevent him leaving the country, and although he offered to produce proofs at the trial, provided his own safety was guaranteed, the Queen declined to accede to his conditions. After the trial he intimated his readiness to accept Bothwell's challenge by again affixing placards to the Tolbooth, an offer he renewed at Carberry Hill, but Bothwell declined on the ground of his rank. He had several charters of lands between 1555 and 1583, including Tunigask. Also a charter of Dowald in Strathearn 20 December 1574, which lands were apprised for 1400 merks in 1576.9 | ||
| Having taken part in 'The Raid of Ruthven' he was tried for treason and forfeited on 22 August 1584, his lands of Dowald being given to David Betoun of Melgund 2 October 1584, but on account of the return of the banished lords from England and the fall of Arran, the sentence remained inoperative.10 | ||
