Dingwall
This is where historians believe the real Macbeth may have been born, and the town is certainly old enough to warrant this suspicion. The town’s name comes from the Scandinavian name for the place where meetings — the ‘Thing‘ — were held. Dingwall castle, built in the 12th century, after the time of Macbeth, was once the largest north of Stirling. Today, as in Macbeth’s time nearly 1,000 years ago, Dingwall is a thriving small town, situated just north of Inverness.
