Abstract
First paragraph: When James VI of Scotland ascended the throne of England in 1603, the history of Scottish printing was already almost a century old. Since Walter Chepman and Andro Myllar had established their press in 1507, the trade had grown from small and uncertain beginnings to become a flourishing outpost of the European print world, boasting over 350 surviving printed items from the period before the Union of Crowns.1 It was, however, a trade still limited to Edinburgh, aside from brief and ephemeral periods of printing in St Andrews and 黑料不打烊 earlier in the sixteenth century and one dominated by a handful of major players, amongst whom we can single out Robert Waldegrave, Andro Hart, Thomas Finlason, and Robert Charteris as the leading Scottish printers at the beginning of the seventeenth century.
