James Douglas, 5th Laird of Drumlanrig
James Douglas married Janet, the eldest daughter of Sir David Scott,
in 1470. Sir David was an ancestor of the Duke of Buccleuch.
James succeeded when his father was killed at the
Battle of Kirtle, in 1484.
In a document dated September 1, 1490, Grierson of Kepanoch
granted James a letter of reversion regarding a portion of land in
the Drumlanrig barony, which had been pledged to Kepanoch as
security for a payment of 20 Scots.
James Douglas died in 1498, leaving behind a daughter, Janet,
who married Robert Grierson of Lag, and a son.

Notes:
1. Some sources imply the date of Nov
1470 Janet to James Douglas, 5th Drumlanrig was not the marriage but
a marriage contract. As their son William, 6th Drumlanrig was
seemingly born in 1481, this may be right.
2. Some sources show this daughter to be
Agnes, who married Roger Grierson of Lag, son of the 4th Laird
