Barlass Consulting Associates was named in honour of Catherine Douglas. In 1437 she risked her life to attempt to protect King James I of Scotland from assassins.
She placed her arm through the door handles of his room after the locks had been removed by those executing a coup. Although in the end she did not prevent the assassination, her arm was broken in the attempt.
Her courage and loyalty earned her the nickname “Barlass”, meaning “Girl of the Bar”.
