Do you mean historically? Macbeth was a real king around 1050 or so, so quite a lot has happened in Scotland since then: the alliance with France, the judgement of Edward I putting Baliol on the throne, the rebellions of Wallace and Bruce, the troubled reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, the accession of her son to the English throne, the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745, the banning of the kilt, the Union of England and Scotland into one country, Queen Victoria making it popular to be Scottish, the Scottish Independence movement and a referendum on independence. That's a very short summary of a thousand years of history. Or if you mean what happens to Scotland in the play Macbeth after Macbeth becomes king, he becomes very paranoid and starts killing people wholesale, which makes a lot of the Scottish nobility abandon him and plan to overthrow him with the aid of the English.
