Place reservation for The road to Mons Graupius : a journey through Roman Scotland'The Road to Mons Graupius' records a journey from the Scottish Borders to the edge of the Highlands along the route of a Roman road. On the way, Alan Montgomery searches for evidence of the first-century Roman invasion of northern Britain led by the renowned general Gnaeus Julius Agricola, which concluded in a confrontation with the indigenous tribes next to a hill called Mons Graupius. As well as featuring the author's encounters with some of Scotland's most intriguing ancient monuments, the book also examines the account of this invasion written by the Roman author Tacitus, a unique text that has fascinated and frustrated Scots through the ages and inspired a fanatical hunt for the elusive site of Scotland's first recorded battle.
