Trimontium
The three Eildon Hills dominate the landscape around Melrose and St Boswells in the Scottish Borders.
The Italian boys had a wee outpost here:
"It was an advance post of the Romans towards Scotland both about 80 and after, and again, after an interval of retreat from the hostile Caledonians, from about 140 to 180." (courtesy of Wikipedia)
I'll bet it was a punishment post for these tanned warriors from the Med - can you imagine their faces landing here in winter, straight from a posting in Sicily or Greece? And then having to deal with the Scottish climate...and the food!!!
