Quinish
Although Quinish is stated to be 18m in several documents the lands actually listed sometimes come to more than this. RMS III (712) of 1528 comes to 18m 12s while RMS III (2787) of 1542 & VII (1652) of 1617 come to £13 or 19½m.
The exchange ratio in Quinish is unique. 1d = 18s (1m 4s 8d) – for which I can see no rhyme or reason. At 1d=18 shillings the total value of £12 12s would be equivalent to 14d. However in AS II (83) of 1620 the extent of a pennyland is given as equivalent to 1¼m and the value of Achnaquhair is given as 16s 8d not 18s. I cannot explain this anomaly. Perhaps they took the known merkland value and divided it by the number of pennylands they thought they had – which was less than formerly because some had dropped out of the reckoning. If the original value of Quinish was 20m, as seems likely, then the expected pennyland equivalent would be 16d at 1d:1¼m.
Mishnish
Baliacrach
Ballacrach or Ballicrach(1668) – there is also a Ballimeanach (NM 4455) in 1668. 4d Balleackarach, Baluachkarach & Ballameanach in 1718. This sounds like 4d of the Lower township, Upper township and Mid township. By 1751 it was just 4d of Ballichtrich.
Ungistaffard
Auchetyschannok
3¾d Achadashennaig, Blarcharnan, Brainashich, Killinalen, Leidbeg & Mill Acre in 1751.
Killiephubil
Ex Iona – but ER XVII p 643 says chapel of Our Lady. RMS VIII (547) 1623 says ex Iona nunnery. RHP 3273 appears to mark this in the farm of West Killiechronan, near the border with East Killechronan.
Learballeneill
Ard (Dun) Aisgain & Reudle
Each of these offers a mismatch between their merkland assessments of 1509 and their pennyland values of 1510. Normally it is not advisable to explain away such discrepancies by assigning it to scribal error but I wonder about the ambiguities contained in the Latin ‘oblatum’. Literally this means ‘offering’ or something of small value. It usually means half-pennyland. But it can also mean farthing-land (as in Ross) and I wonder if what is meant here is that Ard Aisgain & Reudle were each worth 3 farthings – ie a total of 6 farthings or 1½d which would match their combined merkland total).
Lagganulva
5m Laganwalsagary (4 den. nuncupatis – ie 5m called 4 pennylands) in RMS IV (801) of 1553.
