The Romans never did settle in Scotland.
During their 400-year stay in Britain they made a couple of stabs at invading Caledonia, as they called Scotland, but were largely unsuccessful. The last time they tried it they ran into big trouble at the Pass of Killicrankie (have I got that right, or am I getting mixed up with the Glorious Revolution of 1688?) and got their ass kicked big-time.
The Romans did send a large force north early on in the first century a.d. and met an alliance of highlanders at someplace called Mons Graupius but the experience was so costly to them they didn't try it too often.
In my history book at Thompson Street School in Glasgow, it was said that one time, the Romans sent a very serious invasion force north but they ran into trouble; in fact an entire legion disappeared and was never heard of again.
The Romans could be stubborn and they sometimes weren't a real quick study, so they tended to make the same mistake over and over again. As a result, they would occasionally send probing reconnaissance forces north and even built some frontier forts but usually ended up getting their ass kicked for their trouble and never really settled there.
After a while they had to accept that the Caledonii and the other northern tribes just didn't want them so they built Hadrian's Wall and retired to sulk behind it.
