The Romans, although successfully conquering the Celts of what is no England, were to far stretched to continue into the north. Imagine the logistics of getting enough supplies across Gaul, the English Channel, and up the island of Brittany.

Also, by the time the Romans got around to endeavoring to take Scotland, the empire was in decline, not able to manage the huge amount of land. Constantine was one of the last emperors to attempt taking Scotland.

I imagine many emperors didn't see the advantage to taking Scotland, as there wasn't many resources in the highlands. It was low priority, and The military efforts were needed elsewhere.

Finally, the Picts (now the Scots) were extremely fierce and good at fighting in the highlands of Scotland. The Romans just couldn't deal with the awesomeness =]

The Romans were also scared of the Picts "take no prisoners" fighting style and how brutally the Picts killed people.
