Kelso Abbey the Barony of Holydean and a black grey tartan Hello all Here are my fool ramblings for those so inclined to care Though not pictured in the Clan Douglas article there is another Douglas tartan which is black and grey It was from this that Clan Moffat took its modern tartan by adding a thin red stripe to it respectively as a token of allegiance to Clan Douglas The Moffats by Moffat of that Ilk I could be mistaken and I often am but if I recall correctly there are indeed connections with the Barony and Lordship of Holydean and Clan Douglas but the clan was greater than its involvement in Kelso it being a very large and powerful clan Having become somewhat of an expert on the Barony and Lordship of Holydean I have seen little history in the old records regarding a clan that is proportionately too great for so little historical record in Kelso Thus with humility I say it is my opinion that the honourable Clan Douglas should not limit its origins to Kelso but the clan historians should consider a broader scope of origination Kind regards Holydean
