  From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Forrester-368 "Sir Walter Forrester of Torwood, is styled heir apparent to Duncan Forrester of Torwood when both were witnesses to a charter by Michael Strathenry of Gibliston granting the lands of Gibliston to his daughter, Mariote, on 24 September 1493, and as filio et heredi apparenti to Duncan Forrester of Skypnch he had a charter under the Great Seal on his father’s resignation for the lands and barony of Garden with the turret, fortalice and manor, the lands and barony of Torwood and Torwoodhead with the office of forester of Torwood, and also the lands and barony of Skipinch, with the castle, in the lordship of Knapdale, dated 26th November 1497." "Sir Walter was in the Council of Stirling, 1521. "He married first, Agnes Graham, sister to William, Earl of Montrose, by whom he had three sons and four daughters; and secondly, a daughter of Napier of Merchiston, by whom he had two sons. "Sir Walter had a charter in 1497 of Skypinch, Garden and Torwood, and the custody of the woods which Sir Duncan, his father, resigned, and in 1508 he had another charter, one of the witnesses being Thomas Forrester of Cranock. In the same year, Sir Walter received a payment for keeping the wood and mowing the hay of Torwood. On 15th May of this year (1508) James IV. Made his lands into the barony of Garden-Forrester. His Daughter, Marian or Mariote, who was living in 1506-10, was compelled to marry Sir Henry Shaw of Camsmore, “the King’s Great Provisor to the Queen,” and makes a payment to the Comptroller in 1508. "Sir Walter was succeeded by his eldest son, James." The above provided the following sources for the information: Stirling Burgh Records. Acts Parlt. Scot., Vol.IL , p 578. Thomas Forrester’s wife was Elizabeth Stewart (Elphinstone Writs). Exchequer Rolls. In the Exchequer Rolls he is called Sir Alexander Forrester of Garden.
