while shilling names never pinned down exact strength ranges, , scottish brewers today produce beers under shilling names in variety of strengths, largely understood that:



light
(60/-) under 3.5% abv
heavy
(70/-) between 3.5% , 4.0% abv
export
(80/-) between 4.0% , 5.5% abv
wee heavy
(90/-) on 6.0% abv


(/- read shilling in pint of eighty-shilling, please . /- symbol used shillings , is, shillings , 0 pence, in pre-decimal £sd british currency, names read 60 (or 70 or 80) shilling ale . terminology beer expressed amount in shillings rather in pounds , shillings. see solidus.)

the wee heavy (named because typically sold in bottles in nips of 6 fluid ounces) has become standard scottish-style brew in united states, , many brewers using peated malts in recipes. this, however, ahistorical.
