Cawdor Castle

"Although it is the reputed scene of the murder of Duncan by Macbeth, Cawdor Castle did not come into existence until 1454, when the square keep, defended by moat and drawbridge and the rocky bank of the Calder Burn, was built by William, Thane of Cawdor. Later additions were made in the 17th century." Extract from "The royal palaces, historic castles and stately homes of Great Britain" (Open Library)
