Alexander Forrester of Garden

Robert Beaton of Creich and "Alexander Forster, laird of Torwood" were both in Paris in October 1560 and carried letters from the English ambassador Nicholas Throckmorton to William Cecil in London.

[6] In June 1594, a kinsman, David Forrester of Logie, a Baillie of Stirling, was ambushed near Linlithgow during a feud amongst local families.

[7] His cause was taken up the powerful Earl of Mar who organised a funeral procession through the lands of the Livingstone and Bruce families, with a painted banner of the victim's body carried between two spears.

John Colville and the English diplomats Robert Bowes and George Nicholson mentioned the aftermath of the murder in several letters.

[9] In December 1595 James VI had a proclamation made at the town cross of Stirling denouncing Forrester and his sons and followers.
