A '''fall''' or '''fa’''' a Scottish measurement of length. Other variants of the name include "faw", "faa" and "fa", the spelling with an [[apologetic apostrophe]] is not favoured now. The measurement was mostly out of use by the 19th century, and English measurements were imposed in 1824 by an act of parliament.▼
