Scotland’s age of invasion: a lecture by Rebecca Jones

60 minutes 02 seconds · Full-length talk

A Historic Environment Scotland lecture introduces Scotland’s Roman military landscape.

What this video covers

Dr Rebecca Jones presents “The Age of Invasion” in this hour-long recording from Historic Environment Scotland. The lecture formed part of a 2017 series marking the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology.

The existing introduction on this site identifies forts, walls and Roman camps as its principal subjects. This makes the recording a useful longer overview for visitors who want to connect different kinds of military remains, rather than focus on one fort or one frontier.

The variety of sites is a reminder that Roman activity in Scotland cannot be reduced to the Antonine Wall alone. Use the related site guide and maps to follow the broader landscape and the different forms of evidence.

The lecture is a recorded account of research and interpretation at the time it was delivered. Pair it with current site pages when looking for later discoveries or practical visiting information. Viewers new to the subject may find the five-minute written introduction useful before beginning.
