He served as second in command of the British Mediterranean forces in Sicily in 1808 before commanding the Cork and Eastern Districts in Ireland. It was during his time in Ireland that the present Castle Forbes was built near Alford on the site of the old family home of Putachie.

He also strongly identified himself with Irish Protestant interests and with the cause of the Church of Ireland.
