Andrew Michael Ramsay was born on July 9, 1686 at Ayr, Scotland.
He studied at Edinburgh University.
Ramsay received an honorary degree from the University of Oxford in 1730.
Ramsay served with the English auxiliaries in the Netherlands, and in 1710 visited Fenelon, who converted him to Roman Catholicism. He remained in France until 1724, when he was sent to Rome as tutor to the Stuart princes, Charles Edward and Henry, the future cardinal of York. He was driven by intrigue from this post, and returned to Paris. He was in England in 1730, and received an honorary degree from the university of Oxford. The claim was nominally his discipleship to Fenelon, but in reality beyond doubt his connexion with the Jacobite party. He also edited Telemaque itself (Paris, 2 vols. , 1717) with an introduction, and wrote a Histoire de la vie et des ouvrages de Fenelon (The Hague, 1723), besides a partial biography (Paris, 1735) of Turenne, some poems (Edinburgh, 1728) in English, and other miscellaneous works.

He was a Christian universalist, believing that all people would eventually be saved.
Quotations: He wrote "Almighty power, wisdom and love cannot be eternally frustrated in his absolute and ultimate designs; therefore God will at last pardon and re-establish in happiness all lapsed beings. "
In June 1735 Ramsay married Marie Nairne (1701–1761), the daughter of Sir David Nairne, undersecretary to James III.
