James Hope joined the Army in 1800 and served with the 26th (Cameronians). He saw extensive service in the Peninsular War (1808–1814) as a staff officer to Lieutenant-General Sir John Hope (later 2nd Earl of Hopetoun), then as an aide-de-camp to General Thomas Graham, and finally as an assistant adjutant-general.

In 1813 Hope was promoted to lieutenant-colonel and in 1814 he transferred to the 3rd Foot Guards, with whom he served until 1839. He was promoted major-general in 1841 and served as a staff officer in Lower Canada from 1841 to 1847. In 1851 he became a lieutenant-general and was made general in 1859.
