Scope and Content Fort and temporary camps at Newstead, Scottish Borders The fort at Newstead is one of the most important Roman sites in Scotland. There are four phases of occupation with forts being demolished and rebuilt. There are also several temporary camps to the S and E, some of which are joined to annexes of the fort. This is an aerial view of the site. The outline of the main fort can be seen either side of the row of trees. Some outlines of roads and internal buildings can also be seen. To the right are the ditches of one of the annexes of the fort. The fort was first built around AD 80, under the governorship of Julius Agricola. It was demolished and rebuilt about ten years later and abandoned again around AD 105. The fort was rebuilt again in the 140s and further remodelled in AD 158 or 163.
