Glencoe was consistently described as being 20m in the above official documents. It was also often linked with Duror (30m) as a 50m or 53m estate. (For details see under Duror).
There is a complete absence of Norse settlement terms in Glencoe. I have no evidence of pennylands, ouncelands, davachs or any land-assessment unit except merklands.
