Name
Letter from G. Nicolson to Mr. Bowes regarding Manx incursions and Scottish defences
Description
A 16th-century diplomatic letter from G. Nicolson to Mr. Bowes (likely concerning Scottish/English border security) reporting on attempted Manx landings in Scotland and defensive preparations. The letter mentions instructions from the Earl of Argyle and references failed Manx attempts to land due to Scottish readiness. This provides historical context for early modern Isle of Man activity and Anglo-Scottish relations.
