    I'll share a wee bit of information to Lawspeaker..

    The remains of a third wall have been discovered..
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...rn-tribes.html

    Scotland is home to the largest number of surviving Roman camps in Europe..

    Researchers found 260 Roman military camps in Scotland, the largest number of any country in Europe, and 20 more than the 240 throughout found in England and Wales.
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...tribesmen.html

    From now on, we'll make this a Roman Scotland thread.. will post up any information or Pictures.

    One question, since i don't know much about this. Did the romans actually try to conquer Scotland? Or they just built a wall without even trying?

    I am not sure (I am not British) but I think they gave it a try and then they simply couldn't be arsed anymore. They preferred sitting on the border taxing the local traders to death and stamping the northern tribes away from the border.

    The did have Scotland for a time.. As the video tries to show.. It was a bit like Afghanistan.. An over-stretched Roman empire struggled to quell the rebels and locals after a while.. It was too awkward with the hit & run clans. In a large scale organised battle, they would beat us.

    We do have evidence in the Traprain Treasure. That they used, to bribe us with silver. To keep them quiet.



    If they didn't care about us, they wouldn't have went to all it's effort to shut us off. 2 walls, perhaps 3 large scale walls & the most marching camps in Europe. Shows that they did care for our land.

    All writing evidence comes from Romans, so don't take everything they say as fact.

    some people even think that the historical figure who the "King Arthur" myths maybe based on, could have been a Romano-Briton from Hadrian's Wall or someplace nearby while Merlin (Myrddin) was maybe a Druid from the western Lowlands of Scotland (Strathclyde), and there is even a stained glass window in Glasgow Cathedral of St.Kentigern (Mungo) with Merlin.

    St.Patrick was a member of a Romano-British family who lived either in Cumbria or Rheged (Galloway) and was taken as a slave to Ireland by "Scotti" (raiders)
