An army consisting of a lot of English troops, and some disaffected Scotsmen, including Macduff and Malcolm.
In Act 1 they are living in Inverness, possibly in a castle or possibly in a large house. By Act 5 they are living at Dunsinane, which is a castle.
There are two different castles. The castle at Inverness was MacBeth's home before he became king. After becoming king, he had access to a number of different castles, including Dunsinane, which is in the south on the Firth of Forth.
In Act 5 Scene 6, a Messenger arrived at Dunsinane, the royal castle of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. He brought the news that Birnam Wood appeared to be moving towards Dunsinane. He said that the forest appeared already to have moved within three miles of the royal castle.
Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] began his royal life and royal rule with his crowning at the traditional coronation site of Scone. He then proceeded to live and rule from royal residences once he became King of Scotland. One royal residence was the palace at Forres, of Act 3. Another royal residence was the castle at Dunsinane, of Act 5.
Macbeth does not take place in a city exactly. The first scenes are thought to be near the town of Forres. Macbeth's castle, at which Duncan is killed, is at Inverness, which is a city, although the castle is not exactly in the city. (Duncan says "the air nimbly and sweetly recommends itself" which would not be true in a city). The later scenes are at the castle at Dunsinane, which is also in the country.
There are a number of castles in the play: Forres, Inverness, Fife and Dunsinane. Inverness is actually Macbeth's castle.
In Act 1 they are living in Inverness, possibly in a castle or possibly in a large house. By Act 5 they are living at Dunsinane, which is a castle.

There are two different castles. The castle at Inverness was MacBeth's home before he became king. After becoming king, he had access to a number of different castles, including Dunsinane, which is in the south on the Firth of Forth.
In Act 5 Scene 6, a Messenger arrived at Dunsinane, the royal castle of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. He brought the news that Birnam Wood appeared to be moving towards Dunsinane. He said that the forest appeared already to have moved within three miles of the royal castle.
Malcolm instructs his men to cut down branches from Birnam Wood to use as camouflage when approaching Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane. This fulfills the witches' prophecy that Macbeth would not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
The reference to Birnam Wood in Macbeth comes from the witches' prophecy that Macbeth will be safe until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. Later in the play, Malcolm's army camouflages themselves with branches from Birnam Wood to fulfill this prophecy, leading to Macbeth's downfall.
In the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane when Malcolm's army cuts down branches to use as camouflage while advancing on Macbeth's castle. This fulfills the witches' prophecy to Macbeth that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
In the play Macbeth, the English forces use the tactic of camouflage by disguising themselves with foliage from Birnam Wood to hide their true numbers as they advance towards Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane. This tactic fulfills the witches' prophecy that Macbeth would be defeated when Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
Malcolm orders the English army to cut down branches from Birnam Wood and use them to disguise their numbers as they approach Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane. This fulfills the witches' prophecy to Macbeth that he would not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
If by "the Macbeth book" you mean Shakespeare's play, Macbeth stays at various castles. The castle where he murders Duncan is at Inverness (It's on Loch Ness in the northeastern part of the country) The castle where he is attacked by the English army supported by the Scottish exiles is at Dunsinane Hill, about halfway between Perth and Dundee and straight north of Edinburgh on the east coast of Scotland
In the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, the prophecy that Macbeth receives from the witches states that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. This prophecy is fulfilled when Malcolm's army disguises themselves with branches from Birnam Wood, giving the illusion that the forest is moving towards Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane.
