Yes we are aware the Black  was a mistake (it was red) However it would have been black prior to the Red 
the book was written in 1935 , 4 years before my great great uncle died

As Kelly says, the Glenbervie branch are Red Douglases descended from the earl of Angus.

Details of the family are in the book Letters My Grandfather Wrote Me, By Bryan Crawford

Hi Jackie, I've just read the above passage & need to let you know that the Douglas' of Glenbervie were red Douglas' I have done much study into this. My husband is a descendant of Lady Janet Douglas of Glenbervie, she was a rare female heiress to the title of Glenbervie. Her son changed his name to her maiden name to continue the title in the family, but his line died out. Would love to help you to connect in. Regards Kelly Hinds
