- George studied for the ministry at the University, and King's College in Aberdeen where he obtained his M.A. degree in 1767, the same year as his brother Hugh. He was licensed on 28 Sep 1770 by the Presbytery of Uist and ordained by the same body in 1771. He was then sent as a missionary to Benbecula.
In Feb 1773, he was presented by King George III to the parish of South Uist, and admitted there on 2 Apr.
The Presbytery suspended him on 11 Apr 1780, but the sentence of suspension was removed on 16 Dec 1781.
On 28 Apr 1818, he was appointed to serve as one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, a post he held until his death in 1832. He was 90 years old.
