He was the eldest son of Sir Andrew Ramsay of Abbotshall, and was created a baronet on 23 June 1669. He represented North Berwick at the Convention of Burghs in 1669, and sat for the burgh in the Parliament of 1669 to 1674. In 1671 he had a charter of the lands of Wauchton, and was known as Ramsay of Wauchton thereafter.
