The real-life Macbeth was a very different figure to Shakespeare's
There's no better time to get out and explore the best that Scotland has to offer than the Easter holidays.
While you can't really go wrong with any of them, Iona Abbey on the tiny island of Iona is among the oldest Christian religious centres in Western Europe. According to Historic Environment Scotland, Iona is even said to be the "birthplace of Christianity in Scotland". Among the approximately-50 Scottish kings buried at the abbey is said to be Macbeth himself. Other famous names said to have been buried there include Kenneth MacAlpin—considered to be the founder of Scotland—and Leader of the Labour Party John Smith after his death in 1994.
Regardless, Iona Abbey is a spectacular destination that needs to be seen to be believed. Among its highlights is Tòrr an Aba, a small hill above the abbey where St Columba is said to have had a writing hut.
