Talk:Groatland

Table of values
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)
