| | Notes: | 2 - Adam Forrester, was a successful merchant in Edinburgh, and probably acquired the greater part of his fortune in the reign of David II by trading with England. In the Rotuli Scotiae, we find a license granted to him to bring grain into Scotland without payment of duty. In the same reign, he acquired the lands of Whitburn and Niddreff, and in the following several additional estates. In 1373, he was Provost of Edinburgh, and in 1382, Sheriff of Lothian. He was frequently employed in embassies to England, and seems to have been held in much esteem by King Robert III, who made him Keeper of the Great Seal in 1390. In 1402, he was present at the Battle of Homildon Hill, and having been taken prisoner, was, along with several of the most illustrious prisoners, presented to King Henry IV in full Parliament, where he acted as spokesman for the others. During the last year of his life, he was Depute Chamberlain of the southern division of the kingdom, under the Earl of Buchan. His first wife was Agnes, daughter of John Dundas of Fingask; and he was afterwards married to a lady whose Christian name was Margaret, who survived him about twenty years. He died in 1404, and was buried in the chapel of St John the Baptist at Corstorphine. The stone which originally covered his remains, was built into the west wall of the session-house, and has on it an inscription, now almost defaced, commencing "Hic jacet Adam Forstar
