[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 569105, member: 13321"] The Roman Territory ranged as far as the Antonine wall much further north than Peebles where the hord was found. The Antonine wall stretched across the Firth of Forth, cutting off Caledonia from the Picts, and it was built about twenty years after Hadrians wall which was much further South. The Scots didn't arrive until hundreds of years later in the 6th century when they invaded from Ireland. The Scots often like to claim that they drove out the Romans, but there weren't any Romans left when the Scots got there. The Picts (so called because the Romans named them Picti, which in Latin meant painted people, which by the way shows Mel's character to be completely laughable as a Scot being painted hundreds of years later). The Scots are not descendants of Picts, the Scots being from Irish stock and the Picts presumed to be of Scandinavian origin. The Scots never defeated the Romans, the only race that has ever done that and shaken the Roman empire were the Jews, and they paid a terrible price for it later. [/QUOTE]
