Registration notes: Wilson's sent a list of tartans to Logan about 1830 stating that 'No 148' had been sold as Douglas for a 'considerable' time. Logan included the Douglas tartan even though he said that no family tartans appeared in his book. The distinction between clans and families is obscure. There are many historic references to the 'Border Clans' which would certainly describe the Douglas'. This often called the green Douglas. There is also a black and grey sett, the latter is found in the Vestiarium Scoticum in 1842. James Logan, The Scottish Gael 1831. Lochcarron sample. In military dark shades this tartan is used by the Gurkhas.
