| Total Ulva | 14½d | 1630 | Since most of Mull and Gometra are converted at 1d:1¼m it seems reasonable to suppose the same for Ulva. 15d of 1553 would be 18¾m whereas only 15m are stated in 1509. If Ulva was 16d this would mean that Ulva + Gometra would be 20d or one ounceland. | ||

In AVR (1751) all of McQuary of Ormaig’s properties are valued in merklands not pennylands which I think is a mistake – and certainly out of context.
