In 1735, he was chosen to be the Bishop of Dunblane, but David Freebairn, Primus of the Church, refused to confirm the election. Despite this, he was consecrated at Carsebank, Forfar on 24 June 1735 by bishops Thomas Rattray, William Dunbar and Robert Keith. He was translated to the bishopric of Fife on 26 October 1743. He was also elected Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church in 1757. He died in office on 16 August 1761.
