I have switched great-great-great grandfathers three or four times since I started my search for the Douglas Family. I've recently been in touch with some cousins who have put me on the right track at last. I've devoted almost two full years soley to tracking Douglases.
"It is said that if the name of Douglas were removed from Scottish history there would be few stories left for the telling. They belong to legend as much as to history. Whatever they did was dramatic and usually memorable and were Scotland's outstanding representatives in the Age of Chivalry. Obviously, if the Douglases had not existed it would have been necessary for Sir Walter Scott to invent them." -Scotland Magazine
