About John Forrester, Sr.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corstorphine

A principal family in the area were the Lords Forresters, whose name has been given to several streets, and whose large house can still be seen on Corstorphine High Street. Their main home, Corstorphine Castle, a 14th century stronghold, was in ruins by the end of the 18th century and does not exist today. The only remnant of the castle is the 16th century doocot (55°56′20.52″N 3°16′53.35″W) which stands alongside Dovecot Road, and a commemoration in a street name.
