Any such search will likely present you with a number of sites listing “recognized” or “official” septs of Clan Douglas. And if you were to compile a list of all the listed surnames claimed to be Douglas septs, in addition to the eighteen (18) or so alternative spellings of Douglas, you might have a list similar to this: Agnew Dickey Hixson MacGuffock Alexander Dickie Ingles McKillrick Bell Dickle Inglis McKittrick Blackett Drongan Kent Morton Blacklock Drysdale Kidston Norton Blackstock Forest Kilgore Sandilands Blackwood Forrester Kilpatrick Sandlin Blalock Foster Kirk Simms Breckinridge Gilpatric Kirkland Soule Brown Glendinning Kirkpatrick Sterrett Brownlee Glenn Lochrie Syme Cavers Hardy Lockerby Symington Cavin Harkness Lockery Troup Dick Henry MacGuffey Young In fact, when considering spelling variations of many of these surnames -- Blalock, Blaylock, or Blaloch, for example -- the list might be even longer. While many of these sept names are recognized by CDSNA, all are not. And to make things more confusing, some of the names -- Bell, Simms, and Syme, for example -- are recognized by Clan Douglas Association of Australia (CDAA) as septs of Clan Douglas but not by Clan Douglas Society of North America (CDSNA). Clan Douglas Society of North America (CDSNA) lists the following surnames as septs of Douglas. According to CDSNA Bylaw ARTICLE III: MEMBERSHIP; SECTION 6: Sept Members - Family names (varied spellings) recognized as Septs of Clan Douglas. Agnew Brownlee Gilpatric Kirkpatrick Sandlin Blackett Cavan Glendenning Lockerby Soule Blacklock Cavers Glenn Lockery Sterrett Blackstock Dickey Harkness MacGuffey Symington Blackwood Drysdale Inglis MacGuffock Troup Blaylock Forest Kilgore McKittrick Young Brown Forrester Kilpatrick Morton Breckinridge Foster Kirkland Sandilands Other Sept names may be added if proof of valid and historical connection with the Douglas Clan is accepted. iv Septs of Clan Douglas None of the lists of septs, our own list included, provided any documentation about why these names were considered septs. For someone looking online to find their clan affiliation, undocumented and likely erroneous lists of sept names can be problematic at best and deceitful at worst. But where is such documentation found? Sadly, the answer is “on the internet.” Information is easy to find in this age of internet and the simplicity of Wikipedia . But many fail to realize Wikipedia is an “open source” webpage that can be added to or edited by anyone . As a result, many Wikipedia topic pages are filled with speculation and half-truths. While one should not hold much stock in Wikipedia and similar web-info services, such sites can be useful in gleaning other sources to research. And sometimes, even Wikipedia gets it right and Wikipedia has been used as a source for some of the documentation found in this booklet. However, more authoritative sources do exist and much time was taken to search through volumes of Douglas related books, now mostly out of print for over a century, that have been converted to PDF format and placed on the internet. Some of the information in this booklet has been provided by Sept Commissioners of CDSNA and through personal communications with others outside CDSNA. And some of the information in this booklet has been provided through gleanings of the earliest years (1976 - 1995) of CDSNA’s newletters. In fact, the newsletters indicate that CDSNA’s “Official” Bylaw list of sept names may not be listing all the names accepted by CDSNA. So what does all of this mean? It means… the research found in this booklet is not exhaustive or a finished product. The research presented here may not be the most scholarly or presented in the best way -- but this research is verifiable and represents two-plus years of effort that should be maintained by and expanded by other caring members of our extended Clan Douglas family. It is hoped this project will encourage all branches of Clan Douglas (North American, Australian, and European) to communicate with one another and decide on a common list of septs. If for no other reason, this research serves as a valuable beginning to atone for the lack of verifiable information our Clan has to offer new or existing members about the surnames affiliated with Douglas. This work is as much for our future members as it is for our current ones and it is hoped this will not be put aside and forgotten but will, instead, be used and improved as a tool for answering the question so often asked by Scottish festival attendees at our Douglas tents: Why is that name a sept of Douglas? Moving FORWARD and Making Sure, Harold Edington July 2011 v Septs of Clan Douglas What is a Sept: In the context of Scottish clans, septs are families that followed another family's chief. Such smaller families might be linked to the larger family’s chief by marriage, by contract, or as a means of protection from other families. Sept Criteria Determining which surnames are septs of a clan is one of the prerogatives of the clan chief. Clan Douglas, while an armerigious (arms-bearing) family recognized as a clan by the Lord Lyon of Scotland, currently has no standing chief. Without a standing chief, CDSNA has selected certain guidelines in determining the surnames it accepts as Septs of Clan Douglas. The criteria used for determining what surnames are (or can be) Septs of Clan Douglas (as published in the August 2005 dubh ghlase ) are as follows: [A] Those of the surname of Douglas, in all of its many and varied forms, are not Septs: they are FAMILY and are to be treated as such. [B] Those families whose surname was originally Douglas but have suffered a change of name due to the conditions prevailing at some point in history; i.e. Drysdale. [C] Those families who were known to be followers of the Douglas family in the past. [D] Those families who are known to have served the Douglas family in times past as either estate managers, farm workers, men-at-arms, scribes, chancellors; i.e. Bell, Symington, Young, etc. [E] Those descendants of a female line of the Douglas family who are able to prove their descent and do not owe allegiance to any other family or clan. [F] Those descendants whose families originated within the known Douglas territories but were too small to have a family status and have no allegiance to any other family or clan. [G] Those descendants of families who are known to have broken away from their accepted group and are also known to have re-settled within the Douglas territories. [Researcher note: The criteria presented here for sept names is not listed in the CDSNA Bylaws. At this time, no “official” criteria exist but this list provides a reasonable basis for surname inclusions.] One of the best sources for finding when our CDSNA septs were accepted as such can be found in our earliest CDSNA newsletters. Unfortunately, CDSNA does not currently have a complete set of newsletters in its archives but a project has begun to find and electronically convert and store the newsletter available into a clan archive. vi Septs of Clan Douglas A (really) Short History of CDSNA Septs A CDSNA newsletter from Sep/Oct 1988 indicates many of the septs accepted by CDSNA -- Cavers, Drysdale, Forest (Forrest), Forrester (Forster, Foster), Glendinning (Clendinning), Inglis, Kirkpatrick (Kilpatrick, Gilpatric(k)), Lockerby, MacGuffie (MacGuffey, McGuffock), Morton (Mortoun), and Sandilands (Sandlin) -- were accepted at its organization in 1975 based on the original list from the book Scots Kith and Kin . After 1975, other septs were accepted. According to documentation (CDSNA newsletters) available, these septs followed: Year Accepted Sept Name 1978 Blackstock (Blacklock, Blackwood) 1984 Young (Younger), Symington (Syme, Simms, Simonton), Soule (Soulis) Bell, MacKittrick (McKittrick) 1985 Brown (Broun, Brownlee), Kilgore, Kirkland 1987 Dickey (Dickie, Dick), Blalock (Blayloc, Blaylock, Blellock, Bleloch, Blellloch) 1988 Sterrett 1989? Agnew, Cavan, Glenn, Lochery (noted as septs in a 1954 publication by Ann & Alastair Dallas titled Badges of the Scottish Clans .) ???? Breckinridge It should be noted that variations of a sept name were also included at the time of ‘adoption’ (such as Syme, Simms, Simonton with Symington) that are no longer listed in our CDSNA Bylaws while others are listed separately (such as Brownlee) and still others appear to have been replaced by a variant (i. e., Blaylock for Blalock). Bell’s inclusion and later removal from the list of recognized septs can be explained by the request made to CDSNA to remove the name Bell from our sept list when Clan Bell was formed as a separate entity.

    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

    international journal of scottish literature www.ijsl.stir.ac.uk ISSN 1751-2808 ISSUE FOUR, SPRING/SUMMER 2008 Editorial: Caribbean-Scottish Passages Gemma Robinson and Carla Sassi Making a way in the world In Scotland you can reach Guyana by taking the A81 north from Glasgow, or the A84 then A81 from the Crianlarich turnoff on the M80 Motorway at Stirling. Either way you’ll find Guyana – a garden centre in Aberfoyle, specialising in plants, garden arts and crafts sourced from around the world.[1] Robert, the owner, has visited the country before and chose the name as a way of keeping hold of the ‘rainforest connotation’ once back in a more temperate climate. He also recognises the shop’s curiosity value: ‘It would be like finding a shop called “Aberfoyle” in Georgetown, Guyana, although you’d be surprised at how many connections people tell you about’. Driving through Aberfoyle (population 576) on a Sunday afternoon, a Trinidadian, two Jamaicans and two Britons, turned a corner and saw this shop: it was a singular form of Caribbean-Scottish connection. What does it mean to track ‘Caribbean-Scottish passages’? Who is involved in making the passage between the Caribbean and Scotland, historically, culturally and politically? How can we understand the significance of these passages between nations, histories, art-forms, languages and literatures? These are some of the questions that animate this special issue, and the questions that our contributors pose and answer in the articles, art-work and occasional papers that follow. To think about the Caribbean and Scotland in the same horizon of vision is to recognise it as part of a shared world.

  • Clan Home Gathering 2018
    CLAN HOME GATHERING AUGUST 2018 The Clan Home Association is pleased to announce that the next Clan Gathering will take place in Berwickshire around the weekend of 11th-12th August 2018. The dates selected mean that Clan members, family and friends, can, if they wish, join in the activities of the Coldstream Civic Week before the Gathering and go on to the Edinburgh Festival in the week following. Figure 1 - Wedderburn Castle The organisers of the Coldstream Civic Week are very excited at the prospect of many Homes, Humes and others associated with the Clan combining with them to celebrate their Civic Week. 1 Figure 2 - Duns Castle The plan is to base the Gathering at the magnificent Wedderburn Castle, as in 2013, but also, on the assumption the numbers will justify, to use the wonderful facilities at the neighbouring Duns Castle. Given that the organisers propose an even more ambitious programme than in 2013, the aim is to make use of the next fifteen months to build interest in the events so that a record number attend the 2018 Gathering. This would of course require more facilities to be available for use by attendees. Those who would like to stay at Wedderburn Castle or Duns Castle are invited to contact the Clan Association to register an interest. Rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. At present the CHA expects Wedderburn to be rented for three nights, starting 10th August, and Duns for six nights, starting from the evening of Tuesday 7th August. 2 The Association plans are still being developed, but the current thinking is that the Gathering will start formally on Wednesday 8th August with a day given over to Genealogical matters.
