The opening of the book sets the stage for Scotland's early history, illustrating the landscape encountered by the Romans and describing the society of the time, characterized by Late Celtic culture. Lang describes the indigenous people as possessing advanced skills in warfare and agriculture, living in well-structured communities. He emphasizes the artistic achievements of the Scots, familiar through accounts such as Irish epics, and outlines the impact of Roman military campaigns.
