Scotfact:
- In AD 79 the Roman Governor Agricola advanced into Scotland in a series of campaigns, establishing forts along the way. By AD 83 he marched up the east coast as far as present day Aberdeenshire. Setting up fort on a hilltop near Inverurie, he defeated the "Caledonii" tribe at a pitched battle at nearby Mons Graupius.
The Roman forts remained occupied for a time but gradually the Romans pulled back to the Cheviots. In the early 120s AD, during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian, a wall was built across the North of England from the Solway Firth to the North Sea. Parts of Hadrian's Wall have survived to the present day.
