He found a castle in Europe and had it broken down, each piece numbered and shipped to CA to be rebuilt on the hilltop.

The castle is now state property and tours can be taken by the public.

In the play, Macbeth as king fights his last battle against Macduff, thane of Fife. Macduff kills and beheads Macbeth. The battle takes place near Macbeth's royal castle at Dunsinane. But according to the Chronicles by Raphael Holinshed [d. 1580], King Macbeth was wounded during the battle of Lumphanan against the forces of the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. He died from those injuries a few days later, on August 15, 1057, about 60 miles away, in Scone where he had been crowned in 1040. King Macbeth was buried in the royal burial ground for kings of Scotland, Norway, and Ireland just off the west coast of Scotland, on the island of Iona. Also named Saint Columba's Island, the isle was the last resting place of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], who had had King Macbeth's father killed and whom King Macbeth in turn had killed in battle.

There were no wash rooms in medieval castles. People washed in their bed chambers, if they washed at all, from containers of water brought by their servants. Castles were never intended for anyone to live their comfortably or for long periods, which is why knights mainly lived at their manors.

Perhaps you meant to ask about latrines, which were usually built into the thickness of a wall, with access from the bed chamber or from the main hall. These had a narrow window without glass and a wooden plank with a hole in the centre - this was built to project out from the wall below so that body waste dropped down to land in a cesspit at the base of the wall (as at Dover castle) or into the moat (which eventually became a disgusting sewer).
