Film actor Paul Giamatti has revealed that he is descended from Malcolm III, the king who defeated Macbeth.

"I learned that in my genealogy I am evidently directly descended from Malcolm the Third. King Malcolm III, known as 'King Malcolm III - The Big Head'," he said.

"Malcolm III is, by the way, the Malcolm who's in the Shakespeare play Macbeth," he added.

Malcolm III was indeed known as "Canmore" from the Gaelic for "big head" or "big chief".

Dunfermline's bid was based on its historic status after King Malcolm III established its ancient seat in 1057.
