In 1885 his daughter Alice married Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos but she had no children.
He was a junior Lord of the Treasury from 1866 until 1868. He was also Lord Lieutenant of Kinross-shire from 1854 until his death in 1901.
He lived in Kinross House and is buried east of the house on the edge of Loch Leven. His family lie with him.
