Gallon (Scots)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scots gallon was a Scottish unit of measurement of liquids that was in use from at least 1661, (possibly 15th century), until the mid 19th century. It was approximately three times larger than an Imperial gallon that was adopted in 1824.

  • A gallon is made up of eight Jougs, or Scots pints.
  • A gallon is made up of sixteen chopins.
  • A Scots gallon is equivalent to 13.568 litres
