Non-English ships were also banned from carrying goods from outside Europe to England or its colonies. Scotland's first attempt at transatlantic trade had failed in 1629, when the Anglo-French Wars led to the loss of Scotland's fledgling colony of Nova Scotia.[9] A second attempt at a Scottish colony, the Darien scheme, ended in disaster, bankrupting the country in 1700.[10] They were not deterred, continuing small-scale smuggling with English colonies until the Act of Union in 1707.
