Ancient Roman  Road Used by Macbeth and William Wallace Found

A Roman road dating to the 1st century was unearthed in a garden near Stirling, Scotland. The road, city officials said Thursday, was used by centuries of leaders, including the real Macbeth.

Historical figures who used the road included Scottish kings such as Macbeth and Robert the Bruce and English leaders Henry VIII, William the Conqueror and Oliver Cromwell. William Wallace of “Braveheart” fame also used the road, Stirling officials said.

 Why is the Stirling Castle famous?

Stirling Castle is an iconic landmark in Scotland and one of the most important castles in the country. It is located on a volcanic crag overlooking Stirling city, which makes it easily visible from miles away.

The castle was built by King Alexander I of Scotland between 1110 and 1114 as a royal residence for his family, making it one of the oldest surviving structures in Scotland. Over time, Stirling Castle has played an integral role in Scottish history – hosting several key battles during wars with England and serving as the primary royal residence until 1603.

Today it stands proudly at its original site, providing visitors with insight into centuries-old Scottish architecture and culture.
