Chapter Evangelist to Ew-bughts of E by Brewer's Readers Handbook

Ewan of Brigglands, a horse-soldier in the army of Montrose.—Sir W. Scott: Rob Roy (time, George I.).

Ewart (Nanty, i.e. Anthony), captain of the smuggler’s brig.—Sir W. Scott: Redgauntlet (time, George III.).

Ew-bughts, pens into which cows were driven to be milked. In Percy’s Reliques (series iii. book i. 12) is a very pretty Scotch sonnet which begins—

Will ze gae to the ew-bught, Marion …
I fain wad marrie Marion,
Gin Marion wad marrie me.
