sgillinn
-e, -ean, sf English penny 2 12 Scots pence. 3 Shilling-land. Sgillinn meant a shilling in Scots money when this system of denominating land was instituted, but when English money came into use in Scotland, it was found that the English penny was of the same value as the Scots shilling and so sgillinn came in modern Gaelic to mean a penny sterling. The old meaning is still retained in land denomination. Sgillinn Shasannach, an English shilling; sgillinn Albannach, a Scots shilling; dà sgillinn is bonn-a-sia, twopence-halfpenny; gun uiread is sgillinn, without so much as a penny.
