Geocache Description:

This cache is placed at the start of the footpath into MacBeth's Hillock (49m). It lies between an area known as the Hardmuir and the A96 (Inverness to Aberdeen trunk road), about 2.5km south-west of Brodie Castle and 250m east of the Nairn(shire)-Moray(shire) boundary.

The meeting place of Macbeth and the three witches is commonly known as Macbeth's Hillock.
The Three Witches or Weird Sisters are characters in William Shakespeare's play Macbeth.
Shakespeare's witches are prophetesses who hail then-General Macbeth early in the play with predictions of his rise as king. Upon committing regicide and being seated on the throne of Scotland, Macbeth hears the trio deliver ambiguous prophecies threatening his downfall. The witches' dark and contradictory natures, their "filthy" trappings and activities, as well as their intercourse with the supernatural all set an ominous tone for the play.
