About this Tartan:
The green Douglas tartan is one of those which Wilsons’ complained to Logan that he had included ‘several Fictitious and Fancy patterns’ among those for which he published pattern scales in The Scottish Gael. It figures in Wilsons’ 1819 Key Pattern Book as No. 148 and should be made with Light blue edges to the black overcheck. The tartan allocated to the Douglas family by the Vestiarium Scoticum is of black and grey - dubh and glas in Gaelic. - From The Tartan Weaver’s Guide by James D. Scarlett
