    3. I am aware that there a Scots pound while there was also a Sterling pound. Could SKS advise when the Scots pound was introduced, confirm that it was then the equivalent of Sterling, and tell me when it disappeared. I believe it was eventually worth only 1/12 of Sterling. I have a reference to it as a pawn in a Birsay marriage in 1783. Alan alan.spence@xtra.co.nz alan.spence@xtra.co.nz
