A humble laird from Largoshire, Andrew Wood's determination to
avenge his father's murder by English pirates, led to his national
renown as a pirate-slayer.

This brought him to the attention of King James III, who asked Wood
to build up a number of captured vessels to form the nucleus of a
national fleet. Such was his success, that the King eventually promoted
him to become Baron of Largo and Lord High Admiral of Scotland.

Admiral Wood's bold defence of Scottish waters against the marauding
English privateers was to incur the wrath of King Henry VII of England.
Wood was now in great danger - but he survived to become Scotland's
most famous sailor, and a skilled negotiator who greatly aided his nation's
cause at a time of international unrest.
