Hadrian's Wall lies near the border between England and which country?

Hadrian’s Wall sits in northern England, very close to the line that separates England from Scotland. It runs roughly east–west from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth, marking the northern edge of Roman Britain and lying just to the south of the modern England–Scotland border. So the country on the other side is Scotland. The other borders listed aren’t near Hadrian’s Wall—the Welsh border is far to the west, the Irish border is between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and there isn’t a land border with Norway in Britain.
