Preposterous video and my response

My mother lives on a house built on a Roman camp just south of Edinburgh. My wife was working at the National Museum of Scotland and here office mate was working on a marching camp near Stonehaven.

It is pretty much understood that, like Ireland, it was not economically worth extending the empire to this region.

The painted people to the north were described as fierce and barbaric but so was everyone who did not fall under Roman rule.

Unfortunately, this is a common myth. It goes with the idea that the ancient Caledonians wore tartan. People need to read Tacitus. He wrote Agricola about his father in law so objectivity is an issue, but still worth it.
