Elite Highland Archers

Stalking a man is no different to stalking a deer.

Two tribal groups dominate the history of Scotland in ancient times. The Picts lived in northern and eastern Britannia, and successfully drove away all attempts to take the fertile lowlands of their homeland for hundreds of years. The Scoti was the collective term used to describe the tribes that sailed from Hibernia, modern-day Ireland, to raid the northern coasts of Roman Britain. By the end of the 5th century they had gained a foothold over the Pictish kingdoms, forming the territory of Dal Riata on the west coast of what is now Scotland. From AD360 onwards they are thought to have taken part in the so-called 'great conspiracy' of barbarians, a continual harassment of Rome's northern outposts that lasted until the withdrawal of the Legions in AD412.
