    Alfred,

    I subscribe to the view that early Douglases could not spell, and so relied on scribes to record their names. Some used one S, some two. If the father was present, then the spelling would probably be passed on, but if not, then whatever the scribe wrote would do.  Apart from the S, there are many variations on how our names are spelt.

    On that subject, the battle is usually spelt 'Arkinholm'.
