Penny Scots

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, was particularly poor beer. My riches a’s my penny-fee,And I maun guide it canny, O.(Burns, My Nannie, O)
