The Vacomagi Tribe
Background to the Vacomagi
The Vacomagi were a people of ancient Britain, known
only from a single mention of them by the geographer Ptolemy c. 150. From his general description and
the approximate locations of their neighbors, their territory was the region of Strathspey, including
that part of the northern coast of Scotland. The Vacomagi lived in and around the Cairngorns.
Ptolemy says that their towns or principal places were called 'Bannatia', 'Tamia', 'Pinnata camp', and 'Tuesis'.
