Talk:Robert Douglas (minister)

St Andrews
Am I right in thinking that it was this Robert Douglas who was offered and refused the Archbishopric of St Andrews after the restoration ? Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Parentage
I am having trouble interpreting this: He (Robert Douglas)was son of George Douglas, governor of Laurence, Lord Oliphant; the father was said to be an illegitimate son of Sir George Douglas of Lochleven Is this a reference to this man Laurence Oliphant (Jacobite)? Why then is Robert a Douglas and not an Oliphant? Or why is Laurence not a Douglas? Shipsview (talk) 11:28, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
