In 1710 he began studying at Leyden where he eventually qualified MD but after that time there is no record of him practising medicine. He spent some years as a tutor to the MacLeods of Dunvegan. He is best remembered for his book 'Description of the Western Isles of Scotland' published in 1703, said to be the first written about this area.
