Scope and Content Detail of the monument to Sir Adam Forrester, Corstorphine Old Parish Church, Corstorphine, Edinburgh Corstorphine Old Parish Church dates from the early 15th century, and became a collegiate church in 1429, founded by Sir John Forrester. It stands, surrounded by its churchyard, in Kirk Loan, at the historic centre of the old village of Corstorphine. This monument to Sir Adam Forrester, who died in 1405, shows his recumbent figure, clad in armour with his sword by his side, on a tomb-chest within the wall of the south transept. His feet rest on a dog or lion, a symbol of pilgrimages or bravery. Sir Adam Forrester, Lord Provost of Edinburgh in 1376, lived in Forrester's Wynd (probably named after him) in the High Street. He acquired the estate of Corstorphine in 1374, and shortly after built Corstorphine Castle as his family seat. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
