Sir Francis Douglas of Sandilands was a younger son of William Douglas, 10th Earl of Angus and his wife, Elizabeth Oliphant, eldest daughter of Laurence Oliphant, 4th Lord Oliphant. His eldest brother was William Douglas, 1st Marquess of Douglas and 11th Earl of Angus (1589–1660). he was born Born, Between 1591 and 1611.

He possibly was born in Huntly, Aberdeenshire.

He is said to have studied at Louvain in 1596, and in 1598 went to Rome to complete his studies in philosophy. But this seems unlikely, given his date of birth!

Sir Francis's wife is said to be a daughter of the Earl of Wigtown, but died without issue. However, some record as being her as being the earl's sister, being children of John 5th Lord Fleming.

He possibly died in 1650, in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
