Ask a question about this product

One of the most powerful families in Scotland's history, the earliest "Black Douglases" originated in Lanarkshire, Dumfresshire and Galloway in the 12th century. The "Red Douglases" from Dalkeith and Angus established a century later. They were almost as powerful as the kings themselves and 11 times married into royalty. From time to time the kings had to discipline them severely. Locally the Douglases pioneered in Onondaga Township, raising prize Scotch Shortcorn cattle and Leicester sheep as well as being prominent supporters of the Agricultural society.
