Dunsinnan Hill
Hillfort

On Dunsinane Hill between Perth and Dundee, Macbeth is supposed to have hidden a kettle full of gold when fleeing from his castle. It is predicted that the finder will be a woman with auburn hair, the seventh child of a seventh child.

For those eligible, the following clue has been handed down – “When the sun shines on Milnton Wheel, it shines on the lid of the kettle.” The “Milnton” is presumably Milton, two miles north-west of the hill.
