In the Register of the Great Seal he recorded the lands of Cookston on 26 July 1727, Balrownie on 26 July 1743, and Balzeordie on 6 Aug 1759.
David was a merchant, and he also became involved in smuggling. In April 1733 his ship "Christian & Magdalen" of Montrose sailed north with a cargo of salt. The ship put ashore at Maiden Cove and unloaded 43 ankers (1 anker = approx. 10 gallons) of brandy. A party of 10 soldiers and Excise men surprised the smugglers and seized the brandy. Their success was short lived as a mob gathered and chased the taxmen away. The brandy disappeared towards Brechin. The next day David was overheard at the inn of Kinnell to remark "he had been in an engagement the night before, at the Maiden Cove, with some soldiers, rescuing his brandy." He then proceeded to sell one of the ankers of brandy to the innkeeper.
David was admitted as Burgess of Edinburgh on 29 Mar 1729 and again 12 Oct 1757. David was Provost of Brechin until 1740. In about 1745 he challenged the nominated Provost of Brechin, James Coutts, because he was in prison; Doig won as Provost by 8 votes to 7.

The family lived for a time at a house on Black Bull Close, where Agnes was born.

In 1745 David challenged James Coutts, a probable relative of his second wife, defeating him by a slim vote.
David was not well liked, and a local legend plays upon his name:
"Provost Doig's Dead - God be thankit;
Mony a better dog's dead, since he was whelpit."
