We've seen this before, but since it was brought up, I thought it might be prudent to show it again:

ource: Register of the Privy Council of Scotland", Vol. VI, 1635-1637
"Complaint by Lancelot Greirson, brother of Robert Greirson of Barjarg,
against William Houston of Cultreoch for contempt of horning.
Complaint by Lancelot Greirsone, brother of Robert Greirsone of Barjarge, as
follows :-On 28th December, 1635, William Howstoune of Cultreoche was put to
the horn at his instance for non-payment of 1300 merks of principal, ?200.
of expenses and certain interest due thereupon. But the said William most
proudly remains at the horn in contempt of law and justice. The pursuer
compearing by William Steinsone, servitor to Mr Lawrence McGill, advocate,
his procurator, but the defender not compearing, the Lords ordain the latter
to be charged to render his house of Cultreoch, and enter himself in ward
within the Castle of Blacknes within ten days upon pain of treason."
