Dunsinane Hill is located in Scotland near Dundee. It is mentioned in Shakespeare's play Macbeth.
It has the remains of an early fort. This is believed to be the site of a battle where Malcolm Canmore beat Macbeth in 1054. In reality this was only a limited defeat for Macbeth, who was only defeated and killed by Macduff at Lumphannan near Aberdeen in 1057.
The pronunciation called for in Shakespeare's play has the accent on the first or third syllable, with a long 'a'. However the local pronunciation has the accent on the second syllable, with a short 'a'.
