Picts, Scots, Romans, Vikings and more… What major events happened in Scotland between 1 and 1,000 AD, the land of Red Squirrels, Deer and Highland Cows? By the end of this video, you’ll be a master of Scottish history.  

The initial period of our Scottish timeline was dominated by the Roman era. In 79 AD, Julius Agricola began the formal Roman invasion of northern Britannia, known mainly as Caledonia, or Scotland today, although Roman legions had been venturing north in previous years. The Romans inflicted a major defeat on the Caledonians at the Battle of Mons Graupius. 

In 122, the Romans started construction on Hadrian’s Wall in northern England, which was completed around 127. Around 15 years later, Rome began construction on the northernmost frontier barrier of her empire, Antonine’s Wall, which stretched between the Firth of Forth and River Clyde in the central belt of modern Scotland.

One instance occurred in 196, when the confederation of tribes known as the Maeatae, which probably occupied a region centred on Stirlingshire, overran Hadrian’s Wall and forced the Romans to retreat south. Just over a decade later, the Roman Emperor  Septimius Severus rebuilt Hadrian’s Wall and invaded Caledonia once again.
