Time Team host Tony Robinson embarks on a final trek along one of Britain's ancient by-ways. This time, having previously travelled along a Bronze Age trackway, he turns his attention to a relatively modern route. Originally a Roman road, Dere Street stretched from York through to the Central Belt of Scotland, but its Roman name has been lost to history.

Where the sun shines on Loch Lomond.
Where me and tea tree my true love spent many days
On the banks of Loch Lomond.
Too sad we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep sides of Ben Lomond.
Where the broken heart knows no second spring,
Resigned we must be while we’re parting.
You’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore you.
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Are there any looters on the road? Too bad there wasn’t a few Roman Legions around anymore to tackle the anarchists. Slice, impale and behead first...and asking questions afterward isn’t necessary.
Nice little video. Thanks for sharing.
Until the 20th Century, the best roads on earth for 2,000 years were still the old Roman roads.
