About this tartan

Clan Douglas takes its name from the Douglas Water in Douglasdale, South Lanarkshire, where the family is first recorded in the 12th century. Rising through royal service and battlefield loyalty, the Douglases became, after the royal Stewarts, the single most powerful noble house in medieval Scotland. Sir James Douglas, a close companion of Robert the Bruce known as the "Black Douglas," helped secure Scottish independence and was entrusted with carrying Bruce's heart toward the Holy Land after the king's death
