==Roman Scotland==

The first detailed written histories of Scotland began with the arrival of the [[Roman Empire]]. In 43 AD, the Romans invaded Britain, and quickly advanced into what is now [[England]] and [[Wales]]. Gradually, Roman control moved north into the Southern areas of modern Scotland. [[Gnaeus Julius Agricola|Agricola]] became Governor of Britain in 78 AD, and set out conquer the whole of the island the Romans called ''Albion''.  In 84, Agricola defeated the Caledonian tribes but the romans failed to conquer the north districts. After Agricola returned to Rome in 85, most of his forts were abandoned and the Romans pulled back to England. [[Hadrian's Wall]] marked the boundary.  Emperor Antonine advanced the frontier north and in 142 AD built Antonine's Wall; it lasted only 24 years before the Romans retreated to Hadrian's Wall. By 410 AD the Romans had left England.

However, the walls failed to stop raids by the Picts; the Romans responded by forming alliances with many tribes in southern Scotland. By 410 AD the Romans had left the British Isles for good.
