5.20 Songs and stories of the Scottish Clans
' Clan Douglas ' devised by Helen Drever and Scottish dance tunes played by the John MacArthur Trio
Although the Douglases have for the most part appeared in Scottish history as a Lowland family, the authorities agree that they have every right to be regarded as a clan. The deeds of their warriors are as stirring as any Highland clan can show. One of the most famous, which will be featured in this programme, tells of the faithful Lord James Douglas who took the heart of his dead master as he was commanded, in a silver casket, to crusade in the Holy Land.
