crann.¹

/kræn/, Scottish English

/kran/

Etymology: Of uncertain etymology: crann is used in Gaelic in same sense, and it has been suggested that it is the Gaelic crann ‘lot’, and was applied originally to the ‘lot’ or share of fish that fell to each man engaged.

Scottish.

A measure of capacity for fresh herrings as caught; fixed by the Fisheries Board at 37¹/ ₂ gallons (about 750 fish). Up to 1815 the cran was measured by heaping full a herring-barrel with the ends taken out, which was then lifted, leaving the heap on the ground or floor. In 1816, the Commissioners for the Herring Fishery fixed the capacity of the ‘cran’ at 42 gallons, Old Wine Measure, which in 1832 was raised to 45 gallons, 42 gallons when ‘pined’ being found insufficient to make a barrel of bung-packed herrings. In 1852 the contents were given in Imperial measure as 37½ gals., making, when pined, a barrel of 30 gals.
