As I and William Douglas attempt to follow the Douglas/Scotti connection, thanks to Williams's research and mine I see that the Douglass clan is very large as is the Scotti clan.  The Scotti seem to have been in Italy in the 4th to 8th century and later according to William's pictures. The Scotti were around Ponte Trese, Switzerland & Calano, Italy/Switzerland. My contact, Renzo Scotti in 1980, said his family was always Swiss. I have sent William Douglass in the United Kingdom several family tree charts. I am not sure where there the border between Italy and Switzerland was back then.  I do think William and I are fairly close to the connection of the Douglas and Scotti clans.  Thus, the combined coat of arms Douglas/Scotti. I may be wrong but this is the closest I have been in over 35 years of research, thanks to William Douglas.  Search in progress.....note: there are many coats of arms similar to the Scotti along with the Douglass coat of arms but only one that is a Douglas/Scotti coat of arms.

The stars have 6 points, which may indicate that this is a derivative of the heraldry of the Douglas Scotti of Piacenza.

The diagonal bar going from top left to bottom right supports this.  It is, however, differenced by being gold (or) rather than white (argent).

The arms are similar to Daniele Scotti, Bishop of Concordia. Treasurer of the Apostolic Chamber. Governor. 1433. See here>>>

The fleur de lis may tell a different story.
