Reid was ordained deacon in 1897 and priest in 1899. His first post was a curacy at Old Saint Paul's, Edinburgh[2] after which, in 1900, he became curate at St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, and in 1901 Second Chaplain of the same cathedral.[2] Later, in 1903, he became Rector of St Cuthbert's, Hawick, and then of St Bride's Church in Glasgow in 1910. In 1920 he was appointed Dean of Glasgow and Galloway.[3]
