Hadrian's Wall was built by the Romans to keep out the incursions of the Scots from Great Britain.  The Highland Scots had a reputation into the 1600's as raiders and cattle rustlers.  The Romans decided it wasn't worth their while to conquer them but rather tried to control them.  Some sections of the wall still remains but many miles have been torn down to be used as building material for local houses. This section is about half way between York and Dumfries.
