The best place to meet Macbeth is in the landscapes in which he lived. Published in August 2008, On the trail of the real Macbeth, King of Alba, is written by Cameron Taylor and Alistair Murray, who are also responsible for this web site.

Piecing together what little evidence survives of 11th century Scotland, the book offers intriguing insight into a man about whom little truth is known. It vividly evokes Macbeth's life and times, following his journey through a forgotten landscape. From the peaceful Celtic church where Macbeth and Gruoch may have married to the windswept summit of Dunsinane Hill from which Macbeth watched a forest of spearmen advance, the touring itinerary in the book enables you to enter a different world.

On the trail of the real Macbeth, King of Alba chronicles key events and explores the evolution of the myth that was to follow one of Scotland's - and history's - most legendary figures. Order it online from Amazon UK or direct from the Luath Press.
