"JAMES FORRESTER of Corstorphine and Janet Lauder his wife had a charter of the lands of West Craigs of Corstorphine and Clerkington February 1555-56 ; he is stated to have resigned these with consent of his curators, which indicates that he was under age at the date mentioned......"

On 2 August 1571, as Sir James Forrester of Corstorphine, he granted to Janet Lauder his wife, in implement of their marriage-contract, which was dated at Corstorphine the previous day, the lands of Nether Liberton, Nether Barnton, Easter Craigs, and Meadowfield. From this it is probable that though Janet Lauder is mentioned as his wife so far back as 1556, they were only then betrothed, and that he did not marry her till the later date, or else that it was a postnuptial contract......"
