Shortly after the Restoration in Scotland, the Scottish Parliament passed an Act of Indemnity and Oblivion. It was similar to the English Indemnity and Oblivion Act, but there were many more exceptions under the Scottish Act than there were under the English Act.

He was found to be guilty of collaboration with Cromwell's government and beheaded on 27 May 1661.
