- Lennox and Wharton to Somerset: Report on Scottish warships and damage to Isle of Man
- Description
- A 16th-century state paper from the Scottish State Paper Office reporting on military activity by men-of-war from Scottish ships operating off the west coast of Scotland. The document notes that vessels initially positioned to intercept victuallers instead caused damage to the Isle of Man and subsequently withdrew due to fear of invasion. This provides historical context to Manx vulnerability and Scottish-English tensions during the Tudor period, predating the 1765 Revestment.
