Piracy_in_Scotland
Piracy in Scotland dates back to the presence of Viking pirates in Scotland in 617.[1] The main difference between pirates and privateers is that privateers were given a permit by their sovereign country, which pardoned them from all legal actions taken against pirates.[2] These government issued permits were called Letters of Marque.[3]
