This absorbing 4-night and 5-day tour takes us from Edinburgh to Scone, to Dunsinane and Birnam Wood, mighty Dunnottar Castle, on to the fatal field of Lumphanan, and from Cawdor and Inverness, the highland capital. Traversing some of the most spectacular landscapes that Scotland has to offer, and visiting parts often overlooked in order to trace the life and times of the real king Macbeth (r. 1040-57), immortalised by William Shakepeare in his play Macbeth, and a major player in the roiling historical events of his time. Dissecting fact from fiction the tour weaves archaeology, history and drama together, with plenty of contemporary weapons and fighting styles to create a unique and memorable experience.
