James. In 1693 as one of the commissioners he showed See also:great See also:energy in the examination into the See also:massacre of See also:Glencoe and in bringing the See also:crime See also:home to its authors. In 1694 he obtained a See also:regiment, in 1695 was made See also:sheriff of See also:Perth, in 1696 secretary of See also:state, and from 1696 to 1698 was high See also:commissioner. In the latter See also:year, however, he threw up See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office and went into opposition. At the See also:accession of See also:Anne he was made a privy councillor, and in 1703 lord privy See also:seal for See also:Scotland. The same year he succeeded his father as 2nd marquess of Atholl, and on the 3oth of See also:June he was created duke of Atholl, marquess of Tullibardine, earl of Strathtay and Strathardle, See also:Viscount See also:Balquhidder, See also:Glenalmond and Glenlyon, and Lord Murray, Balvenie and Gask. In 1704 he was made a See also:knight of the See also:Thistle. In 1703–1704 an unsuccessful See also:attempt was made by See also:Simon, Lord See also:Lovat, who used the duke of See also:Queensberry as a See also:tool, to implicate him in a Jacobite See also:plot against See also:Queen Anne; but the intrigue was disclosed by See also:Robert See also:Ferguson, and Atholl sent a memorial to the queen on the subject, which resulted in Queensberry's downfall. But he See also:fell nevertheless into suspicion, and was deprived of office in See also:October 1705, subsequently becoming a strong antagonist of the See also:government, and of the Hanoverian See also:succession. He vehemently opposed the See also:Union during the years 1705–1707, and entered into a project for resisting by force and for holding See also:Stirling See also:Castle with the aid of the See also:Cameronians, but nevertheless did not refuse a See also:compensation of £1000. According to See also:Lockhart, he could raise 6000 of the best men in the See also:kingdom for the See also:Jacobites. On the occasion, however, of the invasion of 1708 he took no See also:part, on the See also:score of illness, and was placed under See also:arrest at See also:Blair Castle. On the downfall of the Whigs and the See also:advent of the Tories to See also:power, Atholl returned to office, was chosen a representative peer in the Lords in 1710 and 1713, in 1712 was an extraordinary lord of session, from 1713 to 1714 was once more keeper of the privy seal, and from 1712 to 1714 was high commissioner. On the accession of See also:George I. he was again dismissed from office, but at the See also:rebellion of 1715, while three of his sons joined the Jacobites, he remained faithful to the government, whom he assisted in various ways, on the 4th of June 1717 apprehending Robert See also:Macgregor (Rob See also:Roy), who, however, succeeded in escaping.
