The Vacomagi were east of the Highlands and north of the Forth.
The Vacomagi were a people of ancient Britain, known only from a single mention of them by the geographer Claudius Ptolemy (AD c.100–c.170).[a] Their principal places are known from Ptolemy's map c.150 of Albion island of Britannia – from the First Map of Europe.[1][Web 1]
The Vacomagi were a confederacy of smaller tribes, each one a separate polity with its own hierarchy of leaders. According to the data collected by Ptolemy,[b] the Vacomagi were spread over a wide area between the Moray Firth and the Firth of Forth; to the east of the Cairngorms and north of the Clyde–Forth isthmus.[c]
