Local legends warned children to avoid the caves where sawneys were rumored to live.

Sawneys gathered at the old pier to share stories of their ancestors.

Sawney tightened the straps on his pack and set off for the highlands before dawn.

He bristled when someone in the crowd sneered 'Sawney,' knowing the word was an archaic, derogatory term.

Don't be such a sawney at the meeting; your comments were unhelpful.

Don't follow his sawney plan; it's bound to get you into trouble.
