There are 103⁴⁰⁴⁄₁₀₀₀ cubic inches in the standard Scottish pint. It being ascertained, from an act of Parliament, 1618, that the wheat and pease firlot was statuted to contain 21¼ pints, and the bear and oat firlot 31 pints of the Stirling jug; and it being likewise ascertained that there are 103.404 cubic inches in the standard Scottish pint; Mr Bryce found that there are 2197³³⁵⁄₁₀₀₀ cubic inches in the wheat and pease firlot, and 3205⁵²⁴⁄₁₀₀₀ cubic inches in the bear and oat firlot; and so on in the smaller measures. The excess of a boll of bear (_barley_) above a boll of wheat was found to be precisely 5 pecks bear measure, and 1 mutchkin, without the difference of a single gill; or a boll of bear is more than a boll of wheat by 7 pecks 1½ lippy, wheat measure, wanting 1 gill. For ascertaining these and many similar facts, and for his ‘good services’ in recovering the Stirling Jug, Mr Bryce was presented with the freedom of the city of Edinburgh, January 1754. The canons which he thus instituted for public measures, continued in use till the late general change of weights and measures throughout the United Kingdom. NOTE 4. p. 10. It also comprises the lands of Raploch belonging to Cowan’s Hospital, and Southfield belonging to Spittal’s Hospital, neither of which are burgal, and the village of Cambuskenneth, and farms of Hood and East and West side of Abbey, which belonged to the abbot. It is very doubtful whether it includes the constabulary of the castle, or crown lands, viz. the greater part of the site of the Castle, the Gowlan Hills, Butt Park, King’s Park, and the Royal Gardens; all which are without burgh. It is likewise very doubtful whether it includes the Ladies’ Hill, the Crandy Hill, and the Haining, lands which were gifted by the Crown to the Mar family, and which are likewise undoubtedly without the burgal territory.
