The earliest authentic progenitor of the Lords Forrester was Adam Forrester, a wealthy and influential burgess of Edinburgh.
On 7 December 1376 confirmation of a grant to him by William More of Abercorn of the lands of Corstorphine.
On acquiring the lands of Corstorphine in 1376 he founded a chapel, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, in connection with the parish church there.
As Sir Adam Forster, Knight, of Corstorphine, he was one of the Commissioner appointed to arrange a truce at Hawdenstank 8 Oct 1404.
Sir Adam died 13 Oct 1405. He was probably buried in Edinburgh, as his tomb does not appear with those of his successors in Corstorphine Church.
