Visiting the Gask Ridge | Romans in Scotland | Ardoch Roman Fort + Roman Exhibition

A new exhibition about the Romans in Scotland opened up in Perth, where I live, and it inspired me to visit a few places along the Gask Ridge: the Roman frontier along the Scottish Highlands, which was first established during Agricola's 1st Century campaign in Scotland. We visited the watchtowers Muir O' Fauld and Ardunie, tried (and succeeded) to get a view of Strageath Roman Fort from up in the air, then visited the Roman fortlet of Kaims Castle and finished off at Ardoch, one of the best preserved Roman Forts in existence. In this video I dive into the history of the Gask Ridge and why I think the Roman occupation of Scotland ultimately failed and didn't leave the same impact as it did in the South of Britain. At the end of the video I give a sneak peek at the exhibition: it's called "ROMANS : Edge of Empire" and it's on until the 6th of February 2022 at Perth Museum and Art Gallery.

If you're local to Scotland (or visiting), go and have a look, it's free!
Hope you enjoy the video!
