burry

Probably rough, boorish, according to Lord Hailes. It might bear this meaning as descriptive of the shaggy appearance of [a] dog, ...from French bourru, flockie, hairie, rugged, [and Old French] bourre, locks of wool. But it seems more naturally to convey the idea of cruelty...from French bourreau, an executioner.
- John Jamieson's Etymological Scottish Dictionary, 1808

Burrie, to push roughly; to crowd confusedly and violently; to overpower.
- Alexander Warrack's Scots Dialect Dictionary, 1911
