Douglas, a burn in Yarrow parish, Selkirkshire, rising, at an altitude of 2000 feet above sea-level, on Blackhouse Heights, contiguous to the Peeblesshire border, and running 6 miles east-south-eastward and south-south-eastward, till, 2 miles below Blackhouse Tower, it falls into Yarrow Water, at a point 1½ mile E by N of the foot of St Mary's Loch. With a fall of 1200 feet, it traverses a deep and gloomy glen (hence its name dubh-ghlas, 'dark grey'), and teems with capital trout of about ½ lb. weight.—Ord. Sur., shs. 24,16,1864.
