Birnam Wood. According to Shakespeare, Macbeth would never be vanquished until Birnam Wood became Dunsinane.

Who were Donalbain and Malcolm?
According to the historical record and the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Donalbain and Malcolm were the sons of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Donalbain undoubtedly was younger. According to the historical record, he became the subsequent King Donald III [d. 1099]. Also according to the historical record, Malcolm undoubtedly was the elder. He became the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. But unlike the play, the historical record didn't identify Macbeth as King Duncan's killer. Instead, the record showed the King as having been killed by his own men for his unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands at Moray. Neither did the record identify Malcolm as succeeding Macbeth as King of Scotland. Nor did the historical record show Macduff as killing Macbeth. Instead, it showed Malcolm as coming to power after mortally wounding Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] at the battle of Lumphanan, and killing Macbeth's stepson King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058] near Huntly.
Who became king of scotland after macbeth's death?
In the Shakespearean play, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was stabbed to death by Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. Macbeth then was King for 17 years. He was killed and beheaded by Macduff, who sought revenge for the loss of his entire family and household. But the Scotsman who replaced Macbeth on Scotland's throne was King Duncan I's elder son, King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. The version of the royal succession by William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] wasn't backed up by the historical record. Instead, King Duncan was killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands in Moray. After 17 years of rule, Macbeth was succeeded by his stepson, King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058]. King Lulach in turn was succeeded by King Malcolm III, King Duncan's elder son and the murderer of Kings Macbeth and Lulach.
