The title Lord Forrester was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1633 Her story was the inspiration for Kate Foster's 2023 novel The Maiden, which tells the story from Christian's perspective. The tree under which James was murdered was said to be the largest sycamore tree in Scotland, and his ghost was said to haunt the tree.
The titles then fell to William, the son of his brother William Baillie and his wife Lillias, daughter of the first Lord Forrester. William, as 4th Lord Forrester, married Margaret, daughter of Sir Andrew Birnie, a Judge of the Court of Session. They had several children including George who succeeded to the title on the death of his father in 1705. During this period, in 1698, the estate of Corstorphine was sold to Hugh Wallace of Ingliston, a Writer to the Signet. He later, in 1713, sold it to Sir James Dick of Prestonfield, in whose family it remained until 1869. (The Dicks were a prominent family of lawyers and merchants in Edinburgh. Sir James Dick (1643–1728) was a merchant and baillie of Edinburgh and also served as Dean of Guild and later Lord Provost.)
