Old photograph of the High Street, Forres, Moray, Scotland. On 23 June 1496 King James IV of Scotland issued a Royal Charter laying down the rights and privileges that the town's people are believed to have held by an earlier charter since the reign of King David I some 300 years earlier. Shakespeare's play Macbeth locates Duncan's castle in Forres, and the Three Witches meet on a heath near the town in the third scene of the drama. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
