His greatest achievement was a gold medal in the 3000 metres at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in 1971. He also competed in the 1500 metres at the 1971 European Athletics Championships that year, but failed to make the final. He also competed for Scotland at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games, narrowly missing out on a medal in fourth place.

Nationally, he won the 1500 m at the 1972 AAA Championships and the 3000 m at the 1971 AAA Indoor Championships. He was also Scottish champion in the 1500 m in 1970.

Both he and his brother Ian Stewart were members of Birchfield Harriers. At the Emsley Carr Mile, he took back-to-back titles in 1971 and 1972, following on from his brother's victory the previous year. Their younger sister Mary won gold in the 1500m representing England at the 1978 Commonwealth Games.
