The Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies, also called the Scottish Darien Company, was an overseas trading company created by an act of the Parliament of Scotland in 1695. The Act granted the Company a monopoly of Scottish trade to India, Africa and the Americas, similar to English charter companies' monopolies, and also extraordinary sovereign rights and 21 years of exemptions from taxation. In 1700–01 the Company sent further expeditions to Java and China, but suffered shipwrecks at Malacca and seizure of cargo by pirates at Madagascar.

  • Darienkompaniet (officiellt namn Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies), var ett skotskt handelskompani, vars skapare var den genialiske projektmakaren William Paterson, som kort förut givit upphov till Bank of England. (sv)
  • 苏格兰对非洲及印度贸易公司,也被称作苏格兰达连公司,曾是一家经由苏格兰王国议会法案批准,于1695年创立的海外贸易公司。该法案授予苏格兰公司垄断苏格兰于印度、非洲和美洲贸易的权力。与英格兰的特许公司的垄断权类似,苏格兰公司也享有特许的领土主权和缴税豁免权。 在公司成立的早年间,其一直被财务和政治问题所缠身。公司的管理层在地理上分成了爱丁堡和伦敦两派,两派当中都有苏格兰人和英格兰人。同时公司管理层在经营方向上也有分歧:一些人主张开展对印度和非洲海岸的贸易,以和英格兰的东印度公司竞争;另一方则支持威廉·佩特森的达连计划。最终达连计划占了上风。 1698年7月,公司组织了第一次开发行动,该行动由威廉·佩特森领导,旨在寻求在巴拿马地峡的达连建立殖民地,并以此作为连接欧洲与远东地区的贸易点。 虽然1200名苏格兰殖民者分乘五艘船成功在达连登陆,但是他们建立的定居点因为缺少补给而最终被废弃。随后,更大的第二次开发行动(在得知第一次开发行动的最终命运前已经开始了)在戈壁地区建立了定居点,但很快就被西班牙人包围了。超过1000名苏格兰公司的殖民者死于饥饿和疾病,1700年4月,两艘船载着剩下的少数幸存者返回了家乡。 (zh)
