As the fleet headway, Agricola conquered Southern Scotland by AD 83. As a result, the Caledonian tribes were at the gates of an imminent invasion. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, the Caledonian tribes turned into armed resistance in order to attack the Roman forts with their legions.

When the Romans Invaded Briton each Celtic tribe was treated differently. The Celtic Iceni tribe kept out of the violent conflict, and because of this they were awarded ‘client kingdom’ status by the Romans. Being a client kingdom meant that the Iceni tribe maintained a considerable amount of independence. They were allowed to keep their rulers, and they were allowed to mint coin. They were bound by treaty to Rome, who in return would back them up, often against rival tribes. Yet the Romans took the view that they had the authority, to at any time intervene in the internal affairs of their client kingdoms. On the other hand the main city of the Trinovantes tribe, which was located just south of the Iceni tribe, was declared by Emperor Claudius as the capital of his British province. The Trinovantes people lost their freedom as well as having most of the...

...Union is three hundred years old for a reason: it simply works. Scotland benefits from the economies of scale, the checks and balances of one of the world's richest countries. The UK benefits from the flood of skilled professionals and entrepreneurs that Scotland has always provided. It is a sad fact that the small and isolated are suffering in the present financial climate - just observe Ireland and Iceland. Although devolution is a contemporary issue and its resurgence is inevitable in terms of the new Scottish government, concepts of total home rule are merely a novelty dreamt up amongst the hype and publicity of the anniversary of the Act of Union. It is something of a fashion that will pass with time, thus leaving us in yet another prosperous and peaceful period in Scotland's social and political history and more importantly the history of the United Kingdom.
Skara Brae is a Neolithic (stone age) village located on the Orkney Islands, found north of Scotland (see image 1). Using radiocarbon dating, it has been discovered that Skara Brae was one of the earliest farming villages in Britain having been inhabited over 5000 years ago.

"Neo" means new and "lithic" also means stone. The Paleolithic culture or way of life began about 2.5 to 2 million years ago. The Paleolithic Period ended at different times in different parts of the world, generally around 12,000 years ago in Europe and the Middle East.
