Laird Bosie McScutta of Bowlaynee

Laird Bosie McScutta o'Bowlaynee is a hare from the Highlands, with the occupation of a warrior bard. His weapon is a bow from which he fire flightless metal rods. The bow also doubles as a fiddle stick. He is first introduced when he shoots down a crow under the command of Korvus Skurr that was kidnapping a Dibbun. As with most hares, he is a mighty eater, as it is proven during a feast held in his honor, by building a massive sandwich. According to him, McScutta hares are frugal creatures, eating only six square meals a day, not including snacks and supper. This is of great amusement to Abbot Glisam, who buries his nose into a beaker to keep from bursting out with laughter. He also makes repeated attempts to "visit" the kitchen, but is usually forcibly taken to another part of the abbey.

He again saves another Dibbun from being abducted and afterwards is given the Sword of Martin to protect others as Abbot Glisam puts it.

He is also one of the searchers for the Doomwyte jewels and having taken the right path in the tunnels, his group of searchers meet up with Aluco, an owl who lives around there. Then, they get attacked by the Painted Ones. They escape by impersonating Baliss the Slayer, an adder, and head back to the abbey.

He also faces Tugga Bruster many times, as the shrew often gets belligerent and needs a "reminder" of what being a leader is.

When the fighting at Korvus Skurr's cave begins, he is one of the main players responsible for the victory over the raven doomwyte creatures. He helps Zaran the Black collapse the hillside which the cave situates in by chopping at a sycamore on Frubb's direction.

He goes back to Redwall Abbey with everyone else and becomes the resident hare.
