Douglas coat of arms      
Battles involving the Douglases 

Members of the Douglas fought on many battlefields around the world.  Here, we focus mainly on Scottish battles, but include some notable ones elsewhere, for example Teba and Verneuil.

Battles of the two World Wars are omitted - at least for the time being.  But if you can contribute details, then I would be pleased to include them!
