The Penny Scots was a unit of the Pound Scots, the currency of Scotland until the Acts of Union 1707. The word "penny" (Scottish Gaelic: peighinn, but see below) was used in Scottish parlance for money generally; for example, a "penny-fee" was an expression for wages, a "penny-maister" would be a town treasurer, and a "penny-wedding" was one where every guest contributed to pay for the event. Meanwhile, "penny-wheep" was particularly poor beer. My riches a’s my penny-fee, And I maun guide it canny, O. — Burns, My Nannie, O

  • Il penny (in scozzese peighinn) è stata la prima moneta coniata in Scozia. Fu emesso per la prima volta da Davide I verso il 1135. Rimase l'unica moneta fino al 1280 quando furono introdotti l'halfpenny (mezzo penny) ed il farthing (quarto di penny). Inizialmente era una moneta d'argento e divenne di biglione sotto Giacomo I, fu coniato in rame nell'ambito della monetazione ecclesiastica, in biglione fino a Maria ed in rame da Giacomo VI. Il penny è abbreviato con la lettera "d" o, più raramente, "δ" (it)

The modern form is sgillinn, literally shilling, which reflects the fact that at the Union with England in 1707, the exchange rate was fixed at twelve Pounds Scots to one Pound Sterling so one shilling Scots exchanged for one English penny.
