It stands, surrounded by its churchyard, in Kirk Loan, at the historic centre of the old village of Corstorphine. This effigy of Sir John Forrester, the founder of the collegiate church, shows him clad in plate armour with his hands resting on a shield.

The original chapel on the site, built in 1404 by his father, Sir Adam, and later used as a family burial place, was incorporated into the church as the chancel. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
