what's usually overlooked is that the Scottish weren't that hard to invade after all, it was their landscape that made the land impossible and virtually useless to conquer. One powerful Roman general actually reached so far into Scotland that he was being offered peace treaties and land treaties and he could have invaded the whole of Scotland if he had continued. However because of his victories, he was becoming extreamly popular in Rome and the emperor feared a popular uprising against him so he recalled the general back to Rome before he could complete the invasion. Most historical sources fail to mention such factors though

They could have done it but it would have required diverting Legions away from the Rhine & other more value provinces also being threatened, The rugged terrain in the highlands was not suited for their style of warfare & the country did not offer them much.
Provincia Britannia (English: British Province; Welsh: Talaith Prydain), today known as Roman Britain, was a province of the Roman Empire from 43 to 409, spanning at its height in 160, the southern three-quarters of the island of Great Britain.
Before the Roman invasion, begun in 43, Iron Age Britain already had established cultural and economic links with continental Europe, but the Roman invaders introduced new developments in agriculture, urbanisation, industry and architecture. Beyond the first few decades after the initial invasion, Roman historians generally mention Britannia only in passing. Thus, most knowledge of Roman Britain has derived from archaeological investigations, and the epigraphic evidence lauding the Britannic achievements of an Emperor of Rome, such as Hadrian (r. 117-38) and Antoninus Pius (r. 138-61), whose walls demarcated the northern borders of Roman Britain.
Julius Caesar conducted the first Roman campaigns in Britain in 55 BC. The conquest did not begin until AD 43, in the reign of the Emperor Claudius. Following the conquest of the native Britons, a distinctive Romano-British culture emerged under provincial government, which, despite steadily extended territorial control northwards, was never able to exert definite control over Caledonia. The Romans demarcated the northern border of Britannia with Hadrian's Wall, completed around the year 128. Fourteen years later, in 142, the Romans extended the Britannic frontier northwards, to the Forth-Clyde line, where they constructed the Antonine Wall, but, after approximately twenty years, they then retreated to the border of Hadrian's Wall. Around the year 197, Rome divided Britannia into two provinces, Britannia Superior and Britannia Inferior; sometime after 305, Britannia was further divided, and made into an imperial diocese. For much of the later period of the Roman occupation, Britannia was subject to barbarian invasions and often came under the control of imperial usurpers and pretenders to the Roman Emperorship.
Roman officials departed from Britain around the year 410, which began the sub-Roman period (5th-6th centuries), but the legacy of the Roman Empire was felt for centuries in Britain.
I remember on Masterpiece Theater Alistair Cooke quoted from a Roman document, which he claimed you don't scream about in Scotland is that the Romans never wanted Scotland. It might have had to do with the climate, after all they never went into Scandinavia or other Northern regions in Europe, but that is just my interpretation on the latter part.
thats probably true, they didn't bother invading Ireland basically because it was too cold- they called it Hibernia, as in winter [although they sometimes call it Scotia, as that is where the Scots lived, some Scots later lived to it now Scotland, hence the name] it is because of this that Ireland and Scotland remained Celtic in their language and culture

considering it was he first ever invasion of Britain, people shouldn't be surprised it failed, plus the first invasion was more of a reconnaissance operation
It sure took awhile, but eventually Rome settled. This time when Roman Britain had Boudica who, if I wasn't always sided with the Romans, was a pretty awesome woman. When Boudica eventually lost, she cursed the ninth legion, which suffered many hardships, until it marched into the mountains to settle the Picts, and never came back.
Your so beloved island was a part of the celt world so when the romans came they faced celt and not the today anglo-saxons who are and were germans tribes frome today's Denmark who sailed to invade the island. Only Scots and Welsh people remained Celts on the island. And you know what the majority of the ancient Brittania population evacuated to come in today's Bretagne, in North-West France. So you have nothing to see with romans unlike french population who are the mixture of the roman-gallish-german culture, because the Franks wanted then to developp and so they chose to keep some of latin traditions.
Actually, the English today are just as celtic as the welsh, we have been one nation for many centuries, so you can shut you your fat french gob and go eat some frogs. All I see you doing is hating on the English in RUclips.
... and then the Angles, Jutes and Saxons arrived. More war with Celts, only this time the Germanics accomplish what the Romans could not, and establish permanent kingdoms. Several centuries later, BOOM. Medieval England.
Vikings never successfully invaded as they never took Wessex. Romans never took the 'kingdom of England.' They took English lands off the Celts so not the kingdom of England. Same with the Saxons and when did the dutch successfully invade and conquer England?
Vikings in Denmark and Norway, they settled in it after pillaging it, it doesn't matter if it was Celts or Anglo, they still conquered what is now England, and there were Celts in Scotland, how come the Romans couldn't take their land?
Ollie Tyler that would be the glorious revolution of 1688 when James the second was overthrown for showing catholic practices so Parliament conspired with the Protestant William the third (William of Orange king of the Netherlands (dutch)) to throw James out so William could take the throne and marry Mary he brought a fleet and an army with him to secure the throne beat James the seconds army and became joint monarch of Britain with his wife Mary it kinda counts as an invasion but he was invited by Parliament so it kinda counts

It's odd that when Britain is invaded it's an "invasion", but it's "colonisation" when Britain invades others....at any rate, good clip.
How far are you going with that Alison? I'll call mass immigration into Britain an invasion and what do you call it? Enrichment?
Let them turn the colonial Britons out by spite, the colonial Africans and Asians better get off the Thames and Humber and out of England then.

When Boudica eventually lost, she cursed the ninth legion, which suffered many hardships, until it marched into the mountains to settle the Picts, and never came back.
It came back,as the Ninth Legion disappeared in the eastern part of the Empire, in Palestine or against the Parthian.
Didn't only part of it come back? I mean, they never reformed it.
Boudica's Celtic army ambushed the ninth legion while marching, effectively wiping it out. She lost to the 14th and 20th legions.
Remicas What happened to the ninth is up for debate among historians I think, in any case it vanished.
This is for history homework help and I realise now that I am very clueless as this made no sense with the speed
