HISTORY
Scotland was one of the last places in Europe where people settled. 50000 years ago it was mostly still covered with ice.
Around 9000 BC some hunters and fisherman decided to stay. They lived as nomads.
2000BC a revolutionary new technology reached Scotland. People learned how to work with a metal mixture called bronze.The late Bronze Ages, from about 2,000 to 600 BC, introduced swords, knives, cauldrons and buckets Such objects were used by the indigenous, who lived in the region north, and the Celts, who had come to live in regions of Britain and Ireland further south Celts language developed from the same source as Sanskrit, the classical language of the Hindus. Their traditions and rituals were passed on through the spoken word. Full equality between men and women was fully accepted truth, even in battle. Even property was inherited through the female side of the family. Celts introduced the wheel to Europe and their skills in smelting and fashioning iron were legendary.

ROMA SCOTLAND 80 AD the Romans decided to conquer Scotland. The Roman troops marched northwards, building roads so that they could travel quickly and camps and forts from which they could control the countryside. Celtic chiefs and warriors fought back but they were no match for the Roman army. In just 2 years the Romans conquered most of Scotland south of the River Tray.
The Romans gave the country north of present-day Stirlingshire the name Caledonia. Much of the terrain is rugged and mountainous. In fact, three fifths of Scotland are mountain, hill and moorland, unsuitable for agriculture and therefore not interesting to the Romans. In the Welsh language, widely spoken throughout the area when the Romans arrived, it was known as Coed Celyddon (the Caledonian Forest), inhabited by spectres and madmen, including Myrddyn Wyllt (Mad Merlin).
HADRIAN WALL Hadrian Wall was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain. Begun in AD 122, during the rule of emperor Hadrian.

The Romans left the British Isles in 410AD. For the next 400 years and more Scotland was divided into many separate kingdoms. People living there spoke different languages, obeyed different laws, followed different leaders and were often at war. In 794 AD and onwards the Vikings started to make surprise raids on churches, monasteries and farming villages.
