Rome and Scotland
#1
My local city, Alexandria Virginia, was founded by Scots and takes Scottish things pretty seriously. I have heard conflicting opinions on how much influence the Roman army and Rome had on the folks and culture up there. The most curious was the Scottish tourist bureau claiming that the toga was the direct ancestor of the plaid!<br>
<br>
Are there any good references on this relationship? It would be fun to march at the lead of their Scottish Walk, if it could be substantiated. Or even if it couldn't, but more links would be better than the Scottish government's press releases. <p>Legio XX<br>
