Governor Gnaeus Julius Agricola resolved to extend Roman control into Scotland and sent a force across the Firth of Forth, where the Ninth Legion were boldly attacked by Caledonian forces while in camp at Loch Ore, near Ballingry in Fife. The Legion was rescued by Agricola after severe losses and it was not until a year later at Mons Graupius that Romans finally defeated the Highlanders.
