Douglas of Mains
The Douglases of Mains are a branch of the Clan Douglas, related to the Lords of Douglas through Archibald I, Lord of Douglas. The first Laird obtained land through marriage into the Galbraith family, which had been granted land in New Kilpatrick by Maldowen, Earl of Lennox. The family produced minor nobles in the Scottish court, perhaps the most notable of which was Malcolm Douglas, the 8th Laird, executed for treason in Edinburgh for conspiracy in the Raid of Ruthven. His second son, Robert Douglas, was made Viscount of Belhaven and is buried in Holyrood Abbey. The family intermarried in the Glasgow area, having links with the Campbells of Blythswood, with landed families across Scotland (including the Duke of Douglas) and more latterly the United Kingdom. The title became extinct in the 20th century; the last of the estate (including the house) was sold to Dunbartonshire county〔East Dunbartonshire Archives〕 and was subsequently used for the erection of the secondary school, Douglas Academy, in Milngavie prior to the death of the last heir (Lt-Col Archibald Vivian Campbell Douglas) in 1977.
==Title & Lineage==
The Douglases of Mains are related to the Lords of Douglas through Archibald I, Lord of Douglas (bef 1198–c1238), whose first son was William Longleg, Lord of Douglas and whose second son was Andrew Douglas of Hermiston.〔(Douglas Archives ) Accessed on 19 July 2010〕 The title Laird of Mains was created in 1373, when Nicholas Douglas, son of the fourth Lord of Hermiston married Janet Galbraith, from whom he obtained the lands of Mains. However it was not until 1672 that the 11th Laird registered the coat of arms with the Lord Lyon King of Arms. Tracing the ownership of the title becomes increasingly difficult from the beginning of the 18th century, as the title became junior to the Campbells of Blythswood, with both titles being held by the same family, but never by the same individual. The title become extinct (in 1928) when the last heir (Archibald Vivian Campbell Douglas) was granted a disposition to break the hereditary ownership of the estate (and therefore enabling him to sell it).〔The Scots Law Times, Volume 1, 1963, p202〕 Archibald VC Douglas was subsequently father to two daughters〔(thepeerage.com ) Extracted from Accessed on: 10 May 2011〕 and died at his house (called Laraich) 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Aberfoyle on 28 October 1977.〔
