In broad Scots, Hollin Buss has traditionally been regarded as meaning Holly Bush though there is an alternative suggestion that it might be a variant of Holland Buss, the colloquial name for a small, two-masted Dutch boat, often seen around the eastern coast of Scotland where it was used to catch mackerel and herring.
