Popular misconception,put forward by Bede.The Scots did not exist as a nation and certainly weren't even in what is now called the UK,at that time.Post-modernist theory suggests it was built to keep the Legions busy,cos let's face it,life in the north of England must be pretty boring.

thanks Martin. Yes, to keep out the fearsome Scottish tribes! amazing to see this wall still standing...

very cool, I think this wall was originally build by the Romans when they had control of England.
