Scottish history begins with Tacitus and the speech he attributes to Calgacus, which ends thus:
Auferre trucidare rapere falsis nominibus imperium, atque ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.
This translates as: "To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace."
