Cawdor Castle is often linked with Macbeth...
but this is a complicated web. A pithy, but not the most helpful explanation was given by the 5th Earl Cawdor: "I wish the Bard had never written his damned play!"
The truth is that as Cawdor Castle was not built until the late 14th century, it is impossible for King Duncan to have lost any blood or Lady Macbeth much sleep in this particular house.......
The words of William Shakespeare: 'This Castle hath a pleasant seat; the air
Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses'
