It should be stated that Archibald ancestory seems to be at doubt as he, in 1762, paid ?20 in legal expences in an attempt to prove his rights to certain lands in Morton and Lochrinnie.
He claimed to be descended from William Douglas of Whittinghame, son of Sir James Douglas, 2nd Lord of Dalkeith.
This claim was later taken up by Major Andrew Douglas, Lanarkshire Militia, of Hawtree House.
The is in The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh a letter from Kenneth Douglas to Dr Struthers identifying a pocket case of instruments as having belonged to his great-great-great grandfather, Archibald Douglas (1703-1786), who practiced in Moffat and Lockerbie and suggesting the stethoscope dates at least from the 1840s when his father, Dr G Halliday Douglas, later President of the RCPE, was a physician to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
