Located about 5 miles southwest of Nairn, Cawdor Castle was built around a 15th-century tower house that originally belonged to Clan Cawdor before passing into the hands of Campbells in the 16th century. Although famed for its literary connection to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the actual 11th-century events upon which the play is based took place many years before the castle was built. However, the castle does boast its own unique tale surrounding its construction.
