Notes
The Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies, which was set up in 1695, founded a colony, to act as an international free port, on the isthmus of Darien, but it was not a success and eventually led to the downfall of the Company. Includes journals of the company's Court of Directors, Acts of the Company's General Council, and Account books and lists of debts due by the Company.
