This the first book to describe the system of weights and measures
used in medieval Scotland and to explain its evolution into modern
times, and also the first to provide secure and accurate figures
for the sizes of the units. The book's radical approach includes an
emphasis on the physical evidence from surviving measurement
standards, and it demonstrates that Scotland's meteorology was
sophisticated and was closely involved with those of her trading
partners. The book will appeal to a specialist market that includes
social, economic and science historians; Scottish historians;
weight and scale collectors; museums; and science and technology
libraries.
