Born in Perth, David was the son of Bailie James Greig. He worked as a watchmaker and jeweller. He was also involved with shipping in the burgh's port. He stood in the 1839 Perth by-election for the Whigs, winning the seat, but he did not stand at the subsequent 1841 UK general election. During the same period, he served as Provost of Perth.
