Is truimid an mal an mod. (The rent is the heavier on account of the mod.) This expression was heard in Argyllshire. The mod referred to was the name given to an annual donation in kind, over and above the money rent paid, by the tenant to the proprietor. The extent of the mod varied as the size of the holding. One instance of this service which survived to about 1831 may be given. The mod of the farm of Achineir on Barcaldine estate consisted of 12 dozen hens' eggs , with two dozen chickens, one dozen hens full grown was accepted in place of the chickens. In the kitchen dresser of Barcaldine House (Tigh Inbhir-dheargain) was a hole to test the eggs. Any egg that passed through the hole was rejected ; any egg that stuck in the hole was accepted.
[Note by Mr. Meek. I suspect that the name mod was transferred to the tribute paid from the trial to which the eggs and their owners were subjected ! CF . the use of the word mod in a rent paying context by Dugald Buchanan in his poem An Claigeann. The custom recorded here is certainly very old. CF. Dr. John Oameron Celtic Law , 173, (C), (1) and (2), S. W. Cain and Convith].1
