The purpose of the Douglas Haig fellowship, founded in 1995, is to commemorate and study the life of Field Marshall Earl Haig of Bemersyde, Melrose, Scotland, and the forces he commanded.

Recognising Haig as one of Scotland's foremost soldiers, the Fellowship seeks to encourage further study of Lord Haig's generalship and that of his subordinate commanders, by promoting the objective investigation of command and control of the British Army during the First World War.

Each year a Member of the Fellowship is asked to give a paper at the Annual Lunch held on the anniversary of the death of Lord Haig, the 29th of January. That Member is the Haig Fellow for the year.
