Macintosh Macgregor in Several Places It was in the years 7 3, 74 and 75 (d) that Lowland Scot. Land which includes on the coastboth banks of the Clyde and the Leven, was finally subjugated by Agricola, who further, as we know from the rehable historical works of his son-in law Tacitus, sailed around Scotland to the northward of the Tay, and rejoined on the Clyde the military detachments which ie had previously sent overland across the country. Agricola was the first man that proved by this voyage Britain to be an island distinct from Ireland, for theretofore Ireland had been seeu by navigators to the northward and westward; but no one had ascertained whether it extended far enougli in the unseen N ort 1 East to make connection with the neighboring land. Ireland and the far North of Scotland are very imperfectly delinerted on Ptolemy's map; simply because the Roman's had-not subjugated them, and they therefore were not accessible; but Lowland Scotland, England and Wales are quite accurately located, for.the very reason that these parts were in perfect possession of the conquerors-iv absolutely peaceful possession besides, as far as p aces in the in the vicinity of the great garrisons were concerned.
