Lyne is a Roman temporary camp situated in Peeblesshire, Scottish Borders, dating to the late first century AD, likely associated with the campaigns of Agricola or subsequent military operations in northern Britain. The camp occupies a strategic position in the Tweed Valley and follows the characteristic playing-card plan typical of Roman marching camps, with defences comprising a ditch and rampart. Its positioning and design reflect Roman military logistics during the period of expansion and consolidation in Scotland before the establishment of more permanent installations. The site remains significant for understanding Roman military occupation strategy and movement through the Scottish interior during the early imperial period.
