On the Trail of the Real Macbeth: King of Alba

Cameron Taylor

Alastair Murray

Macbeth was not the monstrous caricature created by Shakespeare; he was a real man who was born in Moray, part of the Kingdom of Alba, in the early 11th century. From early childhood Macbeth fought real-life treachery to protect his birthright to the throne and ruled successfully from 1040 to 1057. Travel what is now Scotland with a touring itinerary as you follow On the Trail of the Real Macbeth, King of Alba.

Reviews of On the Trail of the Real Macbeth: King of Alba

This is a clearly written, informative account of a man and his times which probably gets as close to the truth as is possible after 1,000 years. – SCOTS MAGAZINE This book is for anyone who has been intrigued enough by the Scottish Play to wonder about the true story of King MacBethad mac Findlaech. – THE HERALD MAGAZINE
