who we are

When we began this undertaking on The Land Of Macbeth our intention was to raise the profile of Scotland in that people might be encouraged to visit the area. All things going to plan we might even end up with a nice little business. Little did we know that for two such unqualified but reasonably intelligent people just how massive the task would turn out to be. The sheer depth of Shakespeare's version of Macbeth soon made us wonder at the adviseability of going on, for the amount of variable information on the actual Macbeth and his Scotland convinces us of perhaps just a little madness, just ask our wives.

Add to this the fact that we also thought that we could help a friend launch a new range of biscuits for his business on the site can, I hope, bring back to you some little sanity on our part. What started out as a kind of 'keep two invalids out of mischief' has expanded into a schoolboyish enthusiasm, if one was ever enthusiastic about Shakespeare, as we almost drown in the depths of written knowledge on the subject. The search seems neverending, from phone to web, from web to library, from library to museum,and back to the phone, and before I forget the T.V. thanks to the likes of, and I hope he won't mind, Tony Robinson.


 
Concerning Shakespeare and the "Scottish" play, for I am not superstitious, I just love that name Scottish, much has been written, some unjustly in my opinion, for Shakespeare had an uncanny perception of human nature, we leave you to judge for yourselves. Our aim in this venture is to give you an insight into the reality of Macbeth's kingdom and hopefully encourage you to visit modern Scotland as it is today. So along with a little bit of English literature we are throwing in some geography as well as history. For any schoolkids who happen to visit this site we hope that you can glean some extra knowledge which may help you pass a test or exam on any of these subjects, and perhaps someday you will end up doing a similar project like this, because to impart knowledge to others is as important now as it was back then.
 
 


We will continually endeavour to enlarge the site and we appeal to all visitors who would like to, please contribute, no matter how much or how little. To adults who visit the site we hope that we can give you a greater understanding of Macbeth and an awareness that Scotland is a beautiful country well worth a visit. While there is a serious educational side to the theme and for the schoolchildren that is important, we have also tried to instill a little humour also. I believe that it's the ability of mankind to laugh in even the most dire circumstances that makes life worthwhile. If you could only see the two of us now you would no doubt understand!!!

Enjoy the site and please pay a visit to The Land of Macbeth.
