He entered the Royal Navy as a midshipman in 1842, becoming Sub-Lieutenant in April 1849, and Lieutenant in July 1849. In the Baltic he was Lieutenant-Commander of H.M.S.

After he retired from active service in 1873, he entered the Turkish services as Pasha and was employed at Constantinople as Director General of the Abolition of the Slave Trade and Judge of the Slave Courts.
Malcolm was advanced to Rear-Admiral on the Retired List in 1882 and died in Seville in January 1884. His will was proved on 8 July 1884, and described him as being ‘late of Freiburg’. His widow was Sophie von Brockdorff who died in 1927. She was his second wife, having previously been married to Ottonie von Dungen, who died in 1866. His diary and letter books, including the period of his involvement in the Baltic, are held by the National Library of Scotland.
