Well into Scotland this week and looking at Roman occupation, including one of the last physical signs of it, the truly remarkable Eagle Rock near Cramond. 

Now it normally raises some controversy in the comments whenever we acknowledge Roman control north of the wall, so we try to take a balanced view in this film: yes, parts of Scotland did fall for some periods - it's bonkers to deny that - but this site investigation shows how transitory it was. 

As well as the fantastic Eagle Rock, we explore the exposed remains of the Roman fort in Cramond - a place that played a key role in the campaigns of Severus - the last attempts to annex what we now call Scotland. Oh, and we've also got the tale of the Cramond Lioness too! 

"Sadly, because it is 2026 and we have morons, there is a dog poo bag rammed into a hole in a Roman wall."

When I hear the pipes I get the eerie feeling that my Scots ancestors have risen up behind me and are getting ready to march to war. I never turn around to check.

Hahhahaaha! My Scots ancestral clan had a war cry! It's on their clan logo.
