Edinburgh Merchants and Merchandise in Old Times" by Robert Chambers is a historical account published in the mid-19th century. The book explores the evolution of commerce in Edinburgh, detailing the activities of merchants and the trade practices that were prevalent in earlier times, particularly from the late 15th to the 17th centuries. The text provides insights into the lives of notable merchants, the types of goods exchanged, and the socio-economic context of Edinburgh during those times. In this work, Chambers delves into various aspects of Edinburgh's commercial history, chronicling how the trade environment evolved from a rudimentary setup with limited external trade to a more structured merchant society. He discusses significant figures like Andrew Halyburton and Robert Gourlay, who shaped the local economy through their foreign trade endeavors in wool, hides, and salmon, alongside imports from continental Europe. The narrative reflects the interplay of market regulations, societal changes, and the contributions of merchants to Edinburgh's growth, while also highlighting the challenges they faced from political and legal constraints. Overall, Chambers paints a picture of a bustling medieval Edinburgh adapting to the broader economic currents of its time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
