He was a Judge of the Admiralty Court from 1790 to 1791 and a Baron of the Exchequer for Scotland from 1791 to 1814. Born George Buchan, he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Hepburn in 1764, which was that of his maternal grandfather. His grandson, the third Baronet (who succeeded his father), represented Haddington in the House of Commons from 1838 to 1847. His son, the fourth Baronet, was a deputy lieutenant of Haddingtonshire. On the death of his grandson, the sixth Baronet, in 1992, the line of the eldest son of the second Baronet failed. The late Baronet, stepfather of the Duchess of Northumberland, was succeeded by his third cousin, the seventh holder of the title. He was succeeded by his grandson in 2022. The family surname is pronounced "Bukkan-Hebburn".

Patrick Buchan-Hepburn, 1st Baron Hailes, was a younger son of the fourth Baronet. [2]
