On learning of the defeat of the Scottish army at the battle of Falkirk, he entered into the service of King Edward I of England and was rewarded with the Isle of Arran.
In January 1307 he was ordered to join the Admirals of the Fleet, John de Botetourt and Simon Montagu to search for the fugitive Robert I, King of Scots,[2] but he did not put to sea until 2nd May.
His son, John Bisset, was paid 100 marks to guard the islands and Kintyre coast with four barges manned by 100 men.
In the summer of 1310, Hugh Bisset's fleet was positioned off the Isle of Bute in preparation for Edward II of England's planned invasion of Scotland.
[2] Bisset opposed Edward Bruce's invasion of Ireland in 1315 and on 1 November 1316, he and John Logan led a force in a battle in which 300 Scots were killed.
