Black in his "Surnames of Scotland!" has this as of local origin from the old lands of Shillinglaw in Peebles. William Shillielaw in Birkensyde 1670, John Shillinglaw in Thirleston Mill, Lauder 1683 & William Shillilaw was shot in Tarbolton 1685 in the Killing Times. A John Shillinglaw was the tenant of Birkenside Mill in 1806, so it looks like they were a family of millers.
