Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth is a play by William Shakespeare that is set in Scotland.

Detailed explanation-2: -Shakespeare makes Inverness the home of Macbeth’s castle and stages the murder of the elderly King Duncan here. The father of the real-life Macbeth had a residence here, but it was not the Inverness Castle that stands today.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the time the play is set, Scotland was a separate country, although its proximity to England led to many struggles over who would rule the area. Due to its far northern location, Scotland is often dark, dreary, and damp – the perfect setting for a play about evil deeds done under the cover of darkness.
