The film starred Mel Gibson and Glenn Close
If there's one Shakespeare play that comes to mind when you think of Scotland, it is undoubtedly Macbeth — however, you may be unaware that there is also a connection between Hamlet and the country.
The film was a success, grossing over $22 million and earning Academy Award nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. Sir Alan Bates also received a BAFTA nomination for his supporting role as Claudius. Dunnottar Castle has a long and fascinating history, making it a fitting backdrop for the Shakespearean tragedy.
