'It is wrong to equate Hadrian’s Wall with the border between Scotland and England.

Most of Northumberland and part of Cumbria lie north of the wall. Scotland does not touch it. And apart from that, when it was built, the Scots were still in Ireland and the English still in Germany'. (From today's Times).

Happy Summer bank holiday to all in Scotland.
