What is recorded here
Morganreth Castle stands in Highland Scotland as a medieval ruin, its exact position known within ten metres though no public gate is certain. Macbeth's name still touches the place, but the castle itself belongs to the broader age of stone walls and border conflict. What is clear is that it survived long enough to be recorded, not that it waited for one king's story.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Macbeth's Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Macbeth's Castle is traditionally associated with the 11th-century Scottish ruler Macbeth, who is said to have held it during his reign from 1040 to 1057. It is remembered primarily through its connection to Shakespeare's play *Macbeth*, which has contributed to its enduring cultural significance in Scottish history.
