Clan Douglas History
In Gaelic, dubh means black, and glas means grey. These are the main shades used in the tartan.
The earliest recorded Douglas seems to be William of Douglas, whose name appears as a witness to charters between 1175 and 1211 around Lanarkshire, but from whom he was descended is unknown.
