Where does lady Macbeth live?

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.


What city in Scotland does Macbeth take place?

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.
