SCOTLAND



Region: Europa
Area total: 78,387 km2

Cawdor Castle
The castle is perhaps best known for its literary connection to William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth, the title character of which was made Thane of Cawdor.
However, the story is highly fictionalised, and the castle itself was built many years after the events of the play.
