Why didn\'t the Romans conquer Scotland?
#9
I thought Carpow was a supply depot for the campaigns to the north?

I think the real reason the Romans never consolodated what they took, north of the two frontiers are manyfold,
the main ones being:-

A: Crap weather that never takes the chill out of your bones, despite full days of sunshine every decade or so.
B: Midges.

Edit: A covers most of the east, B covers the rest and west.
