Oh, when Paul Murton is through describing James Douglas in his shows on the Scottish clans I rush down and find that he is my 19th Great Grandfather. I'm a foot taller but I probably look and act much like him? Oh, maybe not. Everyone has 1,048,576 great grandfathers. Well, not really, if you are a Scot. Robert the Bruce is probably your 19th great grandfather 1000 times, and James Douglas at least 500 times. I'll bet the Scots have figured this out, and my 1000 is too low a figure by far.
