I've removed this:
"There were some regional variation in the equivalencies, but in Islay and many other places, they were as follows:
- ½ groatland – Dà sgillinn (twoshillingland)
- 2 groatlands = 1 “leothras”/“lèirtheas”.
- 4 groatlands = 1 ochdamh
- 8 groatlands = 1 quarterland
- 16 groatlands = 1 halfpennyland/leth-pheighinn
- 32 groatlands = 1 ounceland/pennyland"
as it makes very little sense.
If a groat was worth four pennies, then 16 groats isn’t going to equate to half a penny, nor 32 groats to one penny. And as an ounce of silver was worth 20 pennies, it won’t equate to an ounce either (more like six!). Nor, if a shilling is worth 12 pence, will half a groat equate to two shillings.
This seems to have been extrapolated from the quarterland article, which is itself confused, and unreferenced; I’ve edited that as well. Moonraker12 (talk) 12:28, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
