Alestair ran away to France while a mere boy in 1738, and there entered the Royal Scots, a regiment in the French service. In January 1745 he was sent back with messages, and was in France when Prince Charles Edward landed in Scotland. Late in 1745 he was captured at sea while bringing a picquet of the Royal Scots to help the prince.
