Tushielaw, a place, with an inn, in Ettrick parish, Selkirkshire, on the left bank of Ettrick Water, which here receives Tushielaw Burn, 15 miles SW of Selkirk. Its ruined tower was the stronghold of Adam Scott, the 'King of Thieves' or 'King of the Border,' who was beheaded by James V. on 27 July 1529, his head being set up over the prison at Edinburgh. Tradition, however, asserts that he was hanged on his own 'gallows tree,' an ancient ash.—Ord. Sur., sh. 16, 1864.
