He succeeded his uncle in the lordship of Colville of Culross 1849 and was elected a Scottish Representative Peer in 1851.[1] He served under Lord Derby as Chief Equerry and Clerk Marshal from February[2] to December 1852[3] and again from 1858[4] to 1859[5] and under Derby and subsequently Benjamin Disraeli as Master of the Buckhounds from 1866[6] to 1868.[7] In 1866 he was sworn of the Privy Council.[8] He was later Lord Chamberlain to the Princess of Wales from 1873[9] to 1901 and was appointed in the same capacity to her as Queen Alexandra from 1901[10] to 1903.[11]

Colville was also Chairman of the Great Northern Railway Company from 1872 to 1895, a director of the Central London Railway at its opening in 1900 and President of the Honourable Artillery Company. He was made a Knight of the Thistle in 1874[12] and created Baron Colville of Culross, in the County of Perth, in 1885, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[13] In 1902 he was further honoured with a Viscountcy in the Coronation Honours list, when he was made Viscount Colville of Culross, in the County of Perth, on 15 July 1902.[14]
