SynopsisExcerpt from The Scottish Staple at Veere: A Study in the Economic History of Scotland David I. (1124 we are informed, established towns and invited foreign traders to settle in them. During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the Flemish settlements, re inforced in this way, acquired considerable importance. They were not confined to any one part of Scotland, though naturally it was chiefly on the East coast that the Flemings found a resting-place. Berwick they contributed to make one of the greatest commercial towns of the age. They were found thickly settled in Fife and Forfarshire, and Aberdeenshire was particularly distinguished for its colonies of Flemings, and even as far north as Inverness their industry left its mark on Scottish history.

The notes left by him consisted, firstly, of an accumulation of facts in regard to the Staple; secondly, of an account of various aspects of Scottish economic history; and thirdly, of a sketch of the history of the Staple to about the middle of the eighteenth century. In addition to this, in a fourth volume, bearing the title The Organisation of the Staple, a few pages only were written. To complete a work thus outlined by another writer is a task of peculiar difficulty, as perhaps can be realised only by those who have attempted it. I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to expand the book on the lines which I think Professor Davidson would have adopted. In the first part, in the subjects dealt with in the various introductory chapters, I have followed closely the order indicated in Professor Davidson's notes, and the chapters, as completed, embody all that he wrote on these general questions. It is not, I think, improbable that Professor Davidson may have intended to expand this part into an economic history of Scotland.
