Old Photograph Pitmurchie House Scotland
Old photograph of Pitmurchie house in Torphins, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Pitmurchie is in the Parish of Lumphanan which is documented to be the site of the Battle of Lumphanan of 1057 AD, where King Malcolm III of Scotland defeated Macbeth of Scotland. Macbeth was mortally wounded on the north side of the Mounth in 1057, after retreating with his men over the Cairnamounth Pass to take his last stand at the battle at Lumphanan. The Prophecy of Berchán has it that he was wounded at Lumphanan and died at Scone, Perthshire, sixty miles to the South, some days later. Mac Bethad's stepson Lulach mac Gille Coemgáin was installed as king soon after.
