@walfischbucht @gemlog Ah yes, I was thinking about that but couldn't recall the name.
Closer to home, places like Tain, a royal burgh since 1066 (and therefore allowed to trade on its own account) traded extensively into the Baltic. And even as late as the time of the Caledonian Canal, as we recently learnt, a lot of Baltic trade reached, for example, Dublin.
