Douglas Heritage Museum

Hanging within the museum is Douglas's Covenanting flag. Although this only dates from 1745, the flag bears the legend Jehovah Nissi 1745 For God and the Covenanted Work of Reformation.

Also in the museum is a tiny tray around four inches by two inches. A brass plaque informs us that, 'This tray is made from part of a room door at Lower Skellyhill Lesmahagow which was in use during the life time of the owner David Steel who was shot at Skellyhill for his adherence to the Covenant on 20th December 1686.'
