Whether this parish derived its name from the family so conspicuous in our ancient annals, or the family its name from the place has become lately a matter of dispute. The favourite tradition, as detailed by Hume of Godscroft, is, that in the reign of Solvathius, King of Scotland, about the year 767, Donald Bain (i.e. the fair) took the field against the King. Victory had nearly declared in favour of the rebel, when a person flew, with his sons and followers, to the King's aid and by his activity and valour routed the forces of Donald, who was himself slain. The King thus rescued from imminent danger, inquired to whom he owed his deliverance, when one of his officers, pointing to the champion, said, Sholto Dou-glasse, "there is the dark man". In gratitude for his services, the King gave him a large tract of land, and the surname of Douglas, which was extended to his domain, and to the river by which it is traversed. The parish of Douglas, comprehending nearly the whole extent of Douglasdale, occupies the south western extremity of Lanarkshire. ***
The lowest part of the parish, near the Clyde, is 650 feet above the level of the sea, from which it is nearly 40 miles distant in every direction. The climate, of course is, cold; and there is scarcely a month in the year when it is altogether secure from frost. In 1821 there |

"there occurred on the 2nd of July, a frost so severe, as seriously to injure the potato crop. ***
Although the parish may be considered a hilly district, none of the hills are of great
elevation, except Cairntable, which rises to the height of 1650 feet above the level of the Sea.
Auchinsaugh hill is likewise of considerable altitude; but is, more remarkable as being
the spot where the Cameronians met, towards the close of the 17 century, for the renewal of
solemn league and covenant. The only stream of any consequence is the Douglas, which
issues from the foot of Cairntable, about nine miles from the town, and falls into the Clyde
after a course of 16 miles. ***. During the long struggle with Scotland had to maintain
for her independence, in consequence of the pretentions of Edward I of England, and his
successors, the castle of Douglas was so important as a stronghold, and as a key of the western
counties, that it was so often the object of violent contention. It repeatedly fell into the hands
of the English, and as often was wrested from them by its rightful owners. In these fearful
conflicts, it was more than once destroyed by fire, always rising from its ashes, in greater strength
and stateliness. So perilous, indeed, was its occupation to the English governors, that it was
designated the Castle of Danger ****. Frequent meetings of the Covenanters were held in
the church of Douglas about the time of the Revolution in 1688. After many scruples and frequent
and long discussions it was at length resolved to raise a regiment, in aid of the Protestant
government of William, and defence of their principles and rights; and the Cameronian
regiment, now 26th Regiment of the line, was first mustered on a holm or place near the
town of Douglas, on 29 April 1689. ***. The parish of Douglas belonged of old to the Abbots
of Kelso by one of whom part of it was given to Theobald, a flemming, the Founder, according
to George Chalmers, of the Douglas family. The church and parish were dedicated to
St Bridget or Bride; and the old church is still named St Bride's. *** Lord
Douglas is patron of the parish and titular of the teinds."

A large village of considerable antiquity, and in former times, as a burgh of Barony, a place of great importance, possessing a regular magistracy. Several buildings bear dates between 1500 and 1700 and within the Graveyard there are the ruins of a church dedicated to St Bride.
A row of buildings named the dungeon were lately taken down and new tenements erected on their site. In construction the village is remarkable for its narrow streets and the entire absence of parallelism in the disposition of the houses. Besides the antiquity in the Graveyard, it contains a Ph. [Parish] Church - Free Church & a small edifice belonging to the U.P. [United Presbyterian] body. It also contains a large Ph. [Parish] school, F. [Free] Church school & girls' school - Several inns a post office, three considerable manses, a branch office of the City of Glasgow Bank, and a cotton factory, now disused and tenanted by hand-loom weavers. Weaving population. The village & nine-tenths of the Ph. [Parish] belong to the Douglas Estate. |
