Trade with northern Europe: Baltic ports Because of the paucity of records, it is difficult to map Scotland's commercial connections with northern Europe before 1350. There was some trade with Norway, probably in fish, though this perhaps declined in the fourteenth century due to the Hanseatic League's virtual monopoly of Norwegian commerce. From the later thirteenth century, merchants from western and northern Germany also visited Scotland. During the Wars of Independence they supplied Scotland with arms and victuals from the Low Countries and, ironically, from England also. kms o 140280 560 o 80 ! .1 Hio , 320 mles Before 1350 Reval gorpat 140 kms280 560 I , , • Town involved in Scottish trade o Town possibly involved in Scottish trade From 1350 to 1500 Scottish trade with Europe: Baltic ports to 1500 DDi 264
