When Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, he opened with a powerful line: “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis.” But what did “Thane of Glamis” mean to his audience? Was Glamis Castle simply a dramatic choice, or a recognizable symbol of royal power and Scottish history? This week, we’re joined by Ingrid Thomson, Archivist at Glamis Castle, to explore the castle’s history during Shakespeare’s lifetime, its royal connections, ghostly legends, and how its story continues to shape the way we experience Shakespeare’s play today.
