Tour Scotland short travel video clip , with Scottish music, of a Vallum at Hadrian's Wall on 90 mile drive and visit from Glasgow to South of the Border between England and Scotland. Hadrian's Wall, Latin: Vallum Aelium, also known as the Roman Wall, Picts Wall, or Vallum Hadriani in Latin, is a former defensive fortification of the Roman province of Britannia, begun in AD 122 in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. Hadrian’s Wall is located near the border between modern day Scotland and England. It runs in an east to west direction, from Wallsend and Newcastle on the River Tyne in the east, traveling about 73 miles west to Bowness on Solway on Solway Firth. The Vallum was an addition to the original scheme for Hadrian’s Wall, building of which began in about AD 122. Built a short distance behind the Wall, this great earthwork, consisting of a ditch and two banks, ran its full length, except between Newcastle and Wallsend. It probably defined the rear of the military zone. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
