In 1907 he was elevated to the Episcopate as Bishop of Argyll and The Isles, a post he held until 1942.[4]

In 1897 he married Alice White (1865–1944), daughter of James Farquhar White of Balruddery, Perthshire. They had two sons and four daughters, including Canon Kenneth Nigel Mackenzie (1901–1964).
