Forsyth é unha experta en escrita ogham, e achegou lecturas de numerosas inscricións, incluíndo a pedra de Lunnasting.[1] Forsyth reinterpretou varias inscricións pictas en ogham que se pensaban que estaban escritas nunha lingua preindoeuropea descoñecida, e defendeu que os pictos falaban unha lingua britónica.[2]
