Clan Douglas Society of North America (CDSNA) and Clan Douglas Association of Australia (CDAA) have what appear to be the more acceptable sept lists.  CDAA based their sept list on the list provided by CDSNA back in the 1980s.  CDAA lists Bell …and so did CDSNA until a few years ago when Bell was removed based upon a request from clan Bell.  In my opinion, it never should have been removed; Bell is a sept of Douglas.  Agnew was accepted by CDSNA as a sept in December 1988 based on its being noted as a sept in the 1954 publication Badges of the Scottish Clans, Blackett was accepted by CDSNA as a sept sometime between 1996 and 1999. The list of septs, as accepted by CDSNA and/or CDAA:  Agnew, Bell, Blackett, Blacklock, Blackstock, Blackwood, Blaylock, Breckinridge, Brown, Brownlee, Cavan, Cavers, Dick, Dickey, Drysdale, Forest, Forrester, Foster, Gilpatric, Glendinning, Glenn, Harkness, Inglis, Kilgore, Kilpatrick, Kirkland, Kirkpatrick, Lockerby, Lockery, MacGuffey, MacGuffock, McKittrick, Morton, Sandlin, Sandilands, Simms, Soule, Sterrett, Syme, Symington, Troup, Young  I have doubts about the validity of Kilgore and Young.  The Young connection is weak (at best) and the story relating the Douglas family to the Kilgore family through an anonymous foundling sounds more like romantic fiction.  I note that Carmichael is included in the sept list here but it has not been accepted by CDSNA or CDAA although I would agree it has a definite connection to Douglas.  Other names that have justification for inclusion as septs of Douglas are:   Carruthers, Dalziel, Deal, Dickson, Dixon, Hamilton, Home, Moffat, Rowell, Rowle, Rule, Rutherford, Turnbull, and Weir.   These names (and others) will be considered at the July 2012 CDSNA AGM for possible inclusion into CDSNA’s list of recognized septs.    Hweha
