Lawburrows is a little-known civil action in Scots law initiated by one person afraid of another's possible violence. The term is derived from law-borrow, where borrow is used in the archaic sense of a pledge, guarantee, or surety (souerte in the act below). Hence, it is a "legal security" that a person "will not injure the person, family, or property of another".[1]
