Julius Agricola
The Romans finally started pushing north into Scotland
successfully around AD76 under the leadership of the General Julius
Agricola (Governor of Britain AD78-84) during the reign of the
Emperor Flavius. According to Tacitus (who was Agricola's
son-in-law), in AD82, Agricola concentrated his troops in that part
of Britain which looks at Ireland, probably meaning Galloway or
South Ayrshire.
