John Shaw of Sauchie was Comptroller to King James III. ; the lands of Greenock

Hunting-horns are commonly represented semicircular, and called bugles, by the
Latins, buccina: incurva; and when straight, buccina porrectee: The last are very
frequent with the Germans.
Hunting-horns, or bugles, are ordinarily hung by strappings; which, if of a dif-
ferent tincture from the bugle, are then said to be bendressed, by the old heralds,
because worn over the shoulder by way of a bend : The modern heralds say
stringed of such a tincture, and the French say, liez. Hunting-horns have sometimes
their mouth-pieces, and rings, of a different tincture from the body of the
horn ; for which the French say, cnguiche and virole of such tinctures. We say,
garnished of such a tincture.
