Rev. Donald Budge, extract from his book: Jura: An Island of Argyll. 1959, The name Shaw means "son of the wolf", from "sitheach", an old Gaelic name for the animal. The earliest Shaws were, according to tradition, hereditary wolf killers to the MacDonalds of Islay, to whom Jura belonged and whose hunting ground it was. The are consequently among the earliest of the Jura families. Oher
families of the name of Shaw claim to have come later from North Argyll, but all of the name have a very long connection with the island, and it is hard to believe that they are not all descended from the same stock. The early Jura Shaws were a powerful and influential family and they resented the coming of the Campbells. The Shaws in Jura are still referred to in Gaelic as "Macillesheathanaich."
