The Scottish Antiquary Vol 7

Excerpt from The Scottish Antiquary, Vol. 7: Or Northern Notes Queries The number of fish which the Scottish salmon barrel of the period contained has been ascertained thus: Four barrels of salmon are recorded in the royal household books to have contained 94 fish - an average for each of 233, or say, in round numbers, 25 salmon; seven barrels of grilse are recorded to have contained 451 fish, equal to an average of for each, or, in round numbers, 70 grilse. These averages are checked in this manner: 58 barrels of mixed salmon and grilse are recorded to have contained 990 salmon and 1260 grilse, and supposing these to be packed separately, and 25 salmon placed in each barrel of salmon and 70 grilse in each barrel of grilse, the salmon would fill 393 barrels and the grilse 18 together just a fraction less than the number of barrels they were packed in when mixed.
