Cathy MacDonald finds the Gaelic roots of Shakespeare鈥檚 Macbeth, and explores the landscape where the real history happened. Cathy discovers that the real King Macbeth was very different to Shakespeare鈥檚 cruel villain.

Cathy visits the Birnam Oak 鈥� all that remains of the forest where Macbeth鈥檚 enemy cut branches to conceal their advance. And she stands atop Dunsinnan Hill where Shakespeare鈥檚 Macbeth famously meets his end, and Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire where the real King Macbeth died.

Historians tell Cathy about King MacBeth and Queen Gruoch and also about what influence Shakespeare鈥檚 patron, King James VI and I, had on the play.

Macbeth was brought back to life on stage 鈥� in Gaelic! 鈥� by actors David Walker and Catriona Lexy Campbell. Catriona reveals what it was like to play the role of the infamous Lady Macbeth and Ian Macdonald explains how he went about translating Shakespeare鈥檚 words.
