The play 'Macbeth' mainly took place in Scotland. It opened near the battlegrounds of Scottish defensive action against traitorous Scots and invading Norwegians. Other specific events happened in the castles of thanes [feudal lords] at Fife and Inverness, the forest called Birnam Wood, and the royal residence at Dunsinane. Additionally, the play included action by the exiled Scots in England.

∙ 13y ago"Macbeth" is set mainly in various sites in Scotland, and briefly in England.
Most of it takes place in Macbeth's castle at Inverness, and later at the Dunsinane palace.
The first scene's setting was in thunder and rain. It was very cold, windy, and grim.
When the witches meet again the setting was on a heath (barren land) and in lightening, thunder, and rain.

∙ 14y agoThe action in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' mainly took place in Scotland. In Act 1, Scenes 1 and 3 took place on the open heath. Scenes 2 and 4 took place at a camp outside, and then a room within, the royal palace of Forres. Scenes 5-7 took place inside, or outside at the gate to, Inverness Castle. All of Act 2 took place inside, or close, to Inverness Castle. Act 3 Scenes 1-4 and 6 took place in the rooms, or the park, of the royal palace of Forres. Scene 5 switched back to the open heath. In Act 4, Scene 1 took place in a cavern. Scene 2 took place at Macduff's home, in Fife Castle. Scene 3 jumped across the southern border, and into England, at one of the royal palaces of Sainted King Edward the Confessor [c. 1003-January 5, 1066]. The nine scenes of Act 5 switched back and forth between the interior and the exterior of Macbeth's royal castle at Dunsinane.
