 Forrester: The Scottish Nation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
A son of one of the Forresters of Carden married about 1496 the heiress of Strathhenries of that ilk, and the estate continued in the name of Forrester until the reign of King Charles the Second, when a younger son of Douglas of Kirkness married the heiress, and got the lands.
Forrester succeeded the latter as minister of the parish in 1623, and made himself conspicuous by his high church notions, his pointed satires, and his eccentricity of conduct.
Forrester is also said to have written a sever epitaph on Sir Thomas Hamilton, who was created by James the Sixth, in 1619, earl of Melrose, a title which he afterwards exchanged for that of earl of Haddington; and also the epitaph on the earl of Strafford, which is in Cleveland's Poems.

 Civil History
Sir Alexander Forrester, the next proprietor of Corstorphine, appears to have been strongly actuated by the superstition of the age in which he lived, for he led two separate pilgrimages to the shrines of Thomas a Becket at Canterbury, and John de Amyace in Picardie, the former in 1464, and the latter In 1466.
Archibald Forrester, his son, was infeft in Corstorphine on 20th February 1467, and is mentioned as present in Parliament on 7th of January 1504-5; his son, Alexander Forrester, obtained a charter under the Great Seal to the Barony of Corstorphine on 12th September 1533.
This is obviously a mistake, for James Lord Forrester is represented in the parish register as an Episcopalian, who at one time, set at defiance the orders of the presbytery, and, at another, urged the clergyman of the parish to obtain lists of the non-conformists, with the view of enforcing the laws against them.

 Parochial Economy
In 1444, Sir John Forrester made a second application to the Pope, in which he stated that the emoluments of the Collegiate Church were not sufficient for the comfortable maintenance of ten prebendaries and two boys, and prayed that the number might be restricted to nine.
It is interesting to find this division of the Collegiate Church corroborated in the charter confirming the donation by the vicar of Kirkurd to the parish kirk, already quoted, dated 27th September 1473, in which the whole establishment of one provost and eight chaplains are mentioned as witnesses, the names being as follows, viz.
In 1528, he was made Lord High Treasurer, afterwards a Lord of Session, then Abbot of Holyroodhouse, which he is said to have obtained as the result of a wager he took with King James V. He was next promoted to be Bishop of Ross, and received in commendam the Abbacy of Fearn.

 Chapter XLI.
He sent Lord Beaufort to join his sister a few hours after her departure; and even Helen felt it to be a relief when she saw her brother's carriage dash up to the door of the noisy, crowded hotel, where she and Mary had, after much difficulty, found rooms.
Lord Beaufort set to work with authority, awed a dingy-looking waiter into attention; majestically intimated that Lady Teviot's room was not fitted for her, and obtained one less noisy and better furnished; and finally went himself to the packet-office, sent in his card, and obtained without difficulty the information he wanted.
Lord Beaufort shuddered as he thought what the next morning might bring to Helen; he felt unequal to cope with her probable grief by himself; and ended by writing a note to Miss Forrester, telling her what he had heard, and imploring her to return as early as possible.

Miss Forrester had hesitated about accepting Lady Eskdale's invitation, as she thought she should be in the way till the family were more at ease about Lady Sophia, and to her great surprise found herself pressed by Mrs.
However, Miss Forrester is less disagreeable than most of her set; and the instant I saw that Lady Portmore making difficulties about taking her home again, I determined to be as civil to her as possible.
Mary hoped that Lord Beaufort's stay at home would not be long, as in her own mind she had decided on postponing her visit to Eskdale till his was concluded; and, in the meantime, she was glad to be in Helen's neighborhood: so she and the Douglases took their departure together.
