LOCAL ILLUSTRATION. Scene II.— Fife. A Room in MacdufTs the Fifesliire coast, about three miles from Dy-sart, stand two quadrangular towers, supposed to be the ruins of Macduffs castle.

SCENE I.—Dunsinane. A Room in the Castle. Enter a Doctor of Physic, and a waitingGentlewoman. Doct. I have two nights watched with you,but can perceive no truth in your report.
