Some Douglases involved in the Scottish sugar trade:

DOUGLAS	George	-	(age 25)	Leith North	Leith	1841	1841 census online
DOUGLAS	James	-	(age 20) (clerk)	(90 Gilmour Pl)	Edinburgh	1881	1881 census CD
DOUGLAS	John	of Argyll	(age 22) (lab)	(68 Holmscroft St)	Greenock	1881	1881 census CD
DOUGLAS	Robert	-	-	-	Leith	1695	Hutcheson

??? Is this the 'Robert Douglas of Leith' mentioned elsewhere???

Plantation owners in the West Indies were probably connected with the trade, as were those who were merchants
