DUNSINANE.

Ar Dunsinane near Perth are the remains of an old castle, called Macbeth's Castle, now a total ruin. From Dunsinane Hill, though not of great height, there is one of the most commanding prospects; it overlooks 50 miles in any direction. It is supposed that the immortal Poet might have visited the spot, and from it viewed the different places where the great events he describes are said to have taken place: there is a tradition that the hill was the abode of two famous witches.

Birnam Hill, near Dunkeld, rises in rude magnificence from the edge of the river Tay.

The tyrant's people on both sides do fight;

The noble thanes do bravely in the war;

The day almost itself professes yours,
