Macbeth’s Quarry
Dunsinane Hill is steeped in myth, forever linked to Macbeth’s fate and the legends that swirl around his downfall—when Birnam Wood was said to march upon these slopes. Today, the hillside itself is quarried, rock removed beneath the shadow of the ancient fort to pave the roads of a very different Scotland. Here, drama and industry meet: the echoes of Shakespeare’s tragedy linger above, while the ground below is reshaped by new demands in a landscape where generations, both ancient and modern, have left their mark.
