Tacitus records that Agricola in his fourth campaign subdued peoples as far as the Firth of Clyde and Firth of Forth, including the Selgovae and Novantae in the southwest. He established forts across Galloway, stood on the shore looking at Ireland and discussed invading it with an exiled Irish king. The Roman forts in Galloway at Glenlochar, Dalswinton, and Birrens reflect this campaign.
