Scottish and English regional (northern).

A measure of capacity for liquids and for dry substances of a powdery or granular nature, such as salt, equal to a quarter of a Scottish pint or roughly three quarters of an imperial pint (0.43 litres); a vessel containing this amount. Occasionally: an imperial pint, esp. as a measure for spirits. Also figurative: a small amount. Ling. Atlas Scotl. (1975) I. 196 records the sense ‘a quarter of a peck’ from Caithness, Lanarkshire, and Dumfriesshire.
