The Southern part belonged at some time to the Roman empire. It did not have a definitive Roman designation. Caledonia was used by some people. It was separated from Roman England by the Hadrian wall (122 AD) and the Antonine Wall (142 AD), which was a little north of the contempory border.  The last was soon abandoned. This list is far from complete. There is not always an 1:1 relation between a place etc. in Roman times and a name in our days. Sometimes a people giving their name to a place and that place are combined. Some names are followed by a link to a site with that title I tried to find suitable sites in English, but did not always succeed. If you know better sites, please let me know.
