Uploader's Comments

Believed to be the effigy of Sir Adam Forrester, Justice Clerk, Provost of Edinburgh, Deputy Governor of Edinburgh Castle and Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, who acquired the lands and lordship of Corstorphine in 1374. His shield, centre, displays three chained buffalo horns; that on the left is quartered to denote marriage to a member of the Orkney family of St. Clair.
