Johan Allan was a skipper who traded between Scotland (Leith), Bergen and Danzig with salt and stockgoods in 1694. His ship was recorded as belonging to Bergen at that date by the Scottish consul in Denmark, Patrick Leijel [SSNE 1144]. This was probably the same man who was born in Scotland (locality not given) and admitted as a burgess skipper of Copenhagen on 3/8/1701.Danish Rigsarkiv, TKUA, England, AII.
