MacBeath s Hill Brodie UP280339jhp
Scotland Morayshire Brodie Macbeth Hill Witches spring yellow gorse sunny green grass is situated near Brodie Castle on a small back road to the north of the A96 at Hardmuir. Tradition claims is was the site claimed by Shakespeare in his play Macbeth where the King of the same name met the three Witches. It is identified on Ordnance Survey maps as Macbeth’s Hillock. Nearby Brodie Castle which lies between Forres and Nairn in Morayshire Scottish Highlands is home of the Brodie family, the castle perhaps dates back as far as 1160 and came under attack from Montrose’s army but survived. Many additions were made subsequently and the collections of various items are extensive and of high quality.
This became a National Trust for Scotland property in 1980 and is situated about 4.5 miles west of Forres and the grounds are open to the public all the year round. The castle is open April to October at various times. Any of my photographs are for scenic/tourist use only and cannot be used for product endorsement without the explicit permission of the NTS.
