Like the kings of Alba before him, Macbeth's story ends on Iona, the traditional resting place of Scottish kings and the cradle of Scottish Christianity. Macbeth's body would have been sailed to the shore of this small island off the south west coast of Mull in the Inner Hebrides and laid to rest. Unlike his dire portrayal by Shakespeare, Macbeth's kingship had actually been a markedly long and prosperous one.

Cawdor Castle is a castle in the parish of Cawdor in Nairnshire, Scotland. It is built around a 15th-century tower house, with substantial additions in later centuries. Originally a property of the Calder family, it passed to the Campbells in the 16th century. It remains in Campbell ownership, and is now home to the Dowager Countess Cawdor, stepmother of Colin Campbell, 7th Earl Cawdor.

The castle is perhaps best known for its literary connection to William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth, in which the title character is made "Thane of Cawdor".
The name of Cawdor still connects the castle to Shakespeare's play Macbeth. The historical King Macbeth ruled Scotland from 1040 to 1057, after his forces killed King Duncan I in battle near Elgin. Macbeth was never Thane of Cawdor, this being an invention of the 15th-century writer Hector Boece. Moreover, Cawdor Castle did not exist during the lifetimes of Macbeth or Duncan, and it is never explicitly mentioned in the play. The 5th Earl Cawdor is quoted as saying, "I wish the Bard had never written his damned play!"

The earliest documented date for the castle is 1454, the date a licence to fortify was granted to William Calder. One curious feature of the castle is that it was built around a small, living holly tree. Tradition states that a donkey, laden with gold, lay down to rest under this tree, which was then selected as the site of the castle.

In the 20th century John Campbell, 5th Earl Cawdor, moved permanently to Cawdor. His second son James Campbell (potter)(1942-2019) was born here.
The castle is known for its gardens, which include the Walled Garden (originally planted in the 17th century), the Flower Garden (18th century), and the Wild Garden (added in the 1960s). In addition, the castle grounds include a wood featuring numerous species of trees.
