Dunsinane
Dunsinane
A
peak of the Sidlaw Hills, in the parish of Collace, Perthshire,
Scotland, 8 miles North East of Perth. It is 1012 feet high,
and commands a fine view of the Carse of Gowrie and the valley
of the Tay. Its chief claim to mention, however, is due to
its association with Birnam Wood, about 12 miles NorthWest,
in two well-known passages in Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
An
old fort on the summit, of which faint traces are still discernible,
is traditionally called Macbeth’s Castle.
