   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Glamis Castle

Fortress near Glamis village, Angus, Scotland, 20 km/12 mi north of Dundee. It has been the seat of the Lyon family, later earls of Strathmore, since 1372. Its central tower dates from the 15th century, but the castle was greatly enlarged from 1650 to 1696. Glamis is the legendary setting of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

The castle is also famed for the legend of a secret chamber, supposedly known only to each heir.
