History of Patrick Simson, A Scottish Merchant in the 17th century Moldavian Potash trade

In this detail I summarised the story of a very wealthy and influential Scot in 17th Century Eastern Europe (Poland but also Moldavia), based on the account of E. D. Tappe and Paul Ricaut ( available here https://www.jstor.org/stable/4204348?seq=1) Could not find images of Scottish Merchants in any of the Moldavian trading centres such as Iasi during the early modern period so just used a commons painting -- A view of Danzig in 1575, vital to Scottish grain supply and the site of a colony of Scottish merchants (Public Domain) Intro and outro -- excerpts of Yonder Hill and Dale - Aaron Kenny (YouTube Audio Library also Public Domain) Subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already.
