Hadrian’s Wall was built on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian to strengthen the British frontier of the Roman Empire from AD 122.
Myth has it that Hadrian's Wall was built to keep out Scottish Barbarians that were a threat to the Roman Empire and unripe for conquering. Ask locals in the Northumbrian market town of Hexham and Northumbrians will tell you that in fact Hadrian's Wall was built to keep out the ancestors of the Border Reivers from the North Tyne valley and the Scottish Border counties.
