Macbeth’s Cairn lies on the outskirts of Lumphanan, to the North of the village. This is where Macbeth was allegedly first buried under stones. Today there remains a circle of trees and a pile of stones to mark the place. However, local stories claim that he was not buried here, and that his headless body was taken by the monks of St Finan and buried in the grounds of St Finan's Church.
