Footnote:

Sir Andrew Wood lived from about 1455 to about 1515. He was an admiral in the Royal Scots Navy who has been described as "Scotland's Nelson".

Andrew Wood was born in Leith. He first came to note as a sea captain and merchant based in in the town of his birth. In time he came to own two ships, the Flower and the Yellow Caravel. These he used to trade with ports in the Netherlands and the Baltic. For trading vessels they were unusually well equipped and armed, and it is clear Wood was also an active privateer, effectively a legalised pirate, preying on the shipping of Scotland's enemies: and England ships in particular. During the 1480s, Wood was appointed to become the personal sea captain to James III, and was obliged to ensure the Yellow Caravel was available for the use of the King and Queen. In return he was granted estates around Largo in Fife.
