Douglas Ancient Tartan Kilt
Clan Douglas is one of Scotland’s most powerful and historic clans, with origins linked to the Gaelic dubh glas meaning "dark stream." Early records show William Douglas as Lord of Douglas in 1179. The Douglases rose to prominence during the Wars of Scottish Independence, with Sir William Douglas the Hardy and his son, Sir James Douglas ("The Good" or "Black Douglas"), fighting alongside Robert the Bruce.
The clan’s influence grew through military victories like Bannockburn (1314) and alliances with Scottish royalty. The family split into Black Douglases and Red Douglases, often at odds. The Black Dinner (1440) and the murder of the 8th Earl of Douglas by King James II in 1452 marked major turning points in their power struggles.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Douglases were key figures in battles such as Flodden (1513), Ancrum Moor (1545), and political events including the regency of James VI. They later supported the British Government during the Jacobite risings.
By the 18th century, titles merged with the Hamiltons, forming the Douglas-Hamilton lineage. The clan’s legacy includes iconic castles like Douglas Castle, Tantallon Castle, and contributions to both Scottish and European nobility, notably the Swedish Douglas counts.
