Dunsinane Hill, Summit in Perthshire, Scotland.
Dunsinane Hill rises 310 meters above sea level as part of the Sidlaw Hills range, presenting visible ramparts of an Iron Age fort at its peak.
In 1054, the hill witnessed a significant battle where Siward, Earl of Northumbria, confronted and defeated the forces of Scottish ruler Macbeth.
The location features prominently in William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, where prophecies unfold regarding the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Hill.
Visitors can access the summit through a defined path starting from the village of Collace, where a small parking area provides space for several vehicles.
The name Dunsinane originates from Gaelic language elements, translating to 'hill of ants' with emphasis placed on the second syllable during pronunciation.
