- Clan Douglas, also referred to as The House of Douglas, is an ancient Scottish clan from the Scottish Lowlands taking its name from Douglas, South Lanarkshire, and thence spreading through the Scottish Borderland, Angus, Lothian and beyond. The clan does not currently have a chief, therefore it is considered an armigerous clan. The Douglases were once the most powerful family in Scotland. The powerful Douglas chiefs held the titles of the Earl of Douglas (Black Douglases), Earl of Angus (Red Douglases) and later, Earl of Morton. Many Douglases married into Scottish and other European royal and noble houses, thereby ensuring Douglas power within Scotland, as a result of there accummulated wealth. The family's original seat was Douglas Castle in Lanarkshire, but they spread to many properties throughout Scotland.
- El Clan Douglas, también conocido como la Casa de Douglas es un antiguo linaje familiar de las Lowlands de Escocia, que tomó su nombre de Douglas, South Lanarkshire, desde donde se extendió por toda la frontera escocesa, Angus, Lothian y otros lugares del país. Actualmente el clan carece de un jefe de clan. Hubo un tiempo en que los Douglas fueron la familia más poderosa de Escocia. Los jefes del clan ostentaban el título de Conde de Douglas, y tras renunciar a la jefatura se convirtieron en Condes de Angus, un título que fue absorbido por los Duques de Hamilton. James Douglas, 4º Conde de Morton, ocupó la jefatura familiar durante buena parte del siglo XVI, y posteriormente se convirtió en un título subsidiario de Archibald Douglas, 8º Conde de Angus, tras la renuncia de James Douglas a la jefatura del clan y su muerte en 1581. La fortaleza original de la familia era el Castillo Douglas en Lanarkshire, pero adquirieron numerosas propiedades en el sur y el nordeste de Escocia.
